What is the difference between a Liberal and a Democrat? And what is the difference between a Neo Con and a?
Republican?
Please don’t chime in with some unintelligent, and imbecilic comment on how they are the same thing. Seriously, I would like to know what people believe the difference between a Liberal and a Democrat is. Also the difference between a Neo Con, and a Republican.
Tonalc, you were not being imbecilic. What I meant was that I didn’t want people saying Democrats and Liberals are the same thing, and same as Neo Con’s and Republicans, the end.
At least you were mature about it, and made a good point.
As for Thomas, well if I can’t say anything nice, then I shouldn’t say anything at all.
On average, a Democrat has more liberal views or feels more strongly about their liberal views than their conservative views. A Republican is the opposite.
A Liberal (ie. pro choice, anti death penalty, pro welfare, anti-war, pro Keynesian economics, etc.) is not accepting of many conservative principles at all and a Neo-Con (ie. pro-death penalty, pro life, pro defense, pro Austrian economics, etc) is not accepting of many liberal beliefs.
As a whole, liberals tend to be Democrats and conservatives tend to be Republicans, but there are some liberal Republicans and some conservative Democrats.
Most liberals are Democrats; not all Democrats are liberals.
Same on the other side.
Sorry for the imbecility.
Seriously; a Democrat is a mature, reasonable liberal, and a neocon is a far-right, religious Republican.
Democrat and Republican are political parties
Liberal and Conservative are an ideoligies
I have answered many times and then found that I rec’d Thumbs down from the questionnaire.
I was being serious and they said the same thing as you but I don’t think you really want to know.
I think you just want us to provide you bullets.
Everyone knows that the Liberal & the Neo Con are the ones that take their party through the wringer.
Liberal and Neocon are ideologies, Democrat and Republican are political parties. Dems tend to be more liberal, Repubs more conservative–but not always.
By the way, Liberal and Conservative are matters of degree and perspective. What we call "liberal" in the U.S. would be considered quite conservative by most of the liberal parties in other developed and developing nations (e.g the Labor party in the U.K.).
