[God and Country]

If you are a "liberal," you favor abortion and you support homosexual marriage. You want to see prayer banned from public gatherings and you think all Scripture – including the Ten Commandments, which form the basis of our system of law – should be removed from the public square. You believe that condemning certain deviant behavior should be a crime.

If you are a "liberal," you think government can make better decisions and spend your money more wisely than you. You believe that legislation can dramatically improve the fortunes of all Americans. You think that taxpayers should foot the bill for many who either don't want to work or can't work as a result of their destructive lifestyles.

A "liberal" today takes comfort in the knowledge that even if America's citizens, legislators and Constitution get it wrong, somewhere there's an unelected judge that will make it right. Especially in the Supreme Court, which to the liberal exceeds the authority of the Constitution.

Furthermore, the majority of liberals think the United States is responsible for most of the conflict, poverty, pollution and hardship in the world. You believe America should place itself under the supervision and direction of the United Nations, functioning not as a sovereign nation, but as a member of the collective.

And most concerning of all, if you are a liberal, you are convinced that religion has caused most of our problems and should either be banned or tightly controlled.

Finally, if you are a "liberal," you probably don't believe there should be any restrictions on your moral or ethical behavior.


"Conservatives" predominantly believe that life is given by God and begins at conception. They believe it is therefore sacred and to be revered and preserved at all cost. You think that our basic rights are granted by God, Himself - not by governments of men or human courts - and therefore cannot be denied without penalty. "Conservatives" believe our nation was founded by Christians on Judeo-Christian principles - that those principles and values have enabled our nation to become strong and prosperous.
If you are a conservative, you probably are convinced that it is not only our right to worship without interference, but that it is our obligation to publicly remind ourselves from whence our strength and blessings flow.
As a conservative, you understand that marriage is a sacred institution designed by God to be the union of one man and one woman. You think that when society condones and sanctions deviant behavior, destructive lifestyles and moral depravity, it degrades and weakens our nation.
A "conservative" believes in the power and the rights of the individual, the family and the private sector to create and preserve wealth. You believe that our earned wealth is to enhance our lives. You are confident that government should play an important role in protecting the nation, supplying common essential services, and providing a safety net for the weaker and less fortunate in our midst. It should, however, be our servant and not our master.
Finally, if you are a conservative, you probably believe that God raised up the United States of America and continues to bless her because she honors Him. You believe that we owe our allegiance to her - not to a cartel of nations that are determined to see her humiliated and hobbled.
You believe America should stand for honor, equality, morality and righteousness, and that we should be prepared and willing to defend those virtues no matter the price.

God bless America, past, present and always.

Quotes to Please Either Liberals or Conservatives

* I never dared be radical when young For fear it would make me conservative when old.
Robert Frost "Precaution" (1936)

* The liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them.
Lenny Bruce, in John Cohen (ed.) The Essential Lenny Bruce (1967) "Politics"

* A conservative is a liberal who just got mugged.
Frank Rizzo, former mayor (1971-1979) of Philadelphia

* If a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested.
Tom Wolfe

* The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them.
Mark Twain

* The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things -- war and hunger and date rape -- liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things. . . . It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.
P.J. ORourke, Give War a Chance

* To be conservative requires no brains whatsoever. Cabbages, cows and conifers are conservatives, and are so stupid they don't even know it. All that is basically required is acceptance of what exists.
Colin Welch, Spectator (London) 21 July 1967

* The tendancy of liberals is to create bodies of men and women-of all classes-detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to mass suggestion-mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed, well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined."
T.S. Eliot

* Liberalism is trust of the people, tempered by prudence; conservatism, distrust of people, tempered by fear.
William Gladstone

* CONSERVATIVE, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others.
Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

[Rurik]

A liberal is someone who is too high-minded to take his own side in a dispute, even when he's right.
