Does the jump from Democrat to Liberal really match up with the jump from Republican to Conservative?
Doesn’t it seem like it should be reversed?… Democrat is to Liberal as Conservative is to Republican instead of Democrat is to Liberal as Republican is to Conservative.
great question!
I think that the parties are just brnad names like Honda or Coca Cola or MTV. Brands change, so do parties
Conservatism is a combination of politcal beliefs, linked together by values. The value of life begats the prolife side of conservatism. THe quest for justice begats the pro-capital punishment. THe core of conservatism is NOT self reliance, its PERSONAL RERSPONSIBILITY
Liberalism is also a combo of politics, the core value of liberalism is BEING THY BROTHERS KEEPER
that was fun
What?
You’re mixing apples and oranges. Republicans and Democrats are political parties. Liberalism and Conservatism are political philosophies. True.. liberals are more predominant in the Democratic party and conservatives in the Republican party..but it’s not a hard and fast rule.
