Liberalism strives for maximized liberty; it gets fuzzy when you talk about how that liberty is secured. One can have conservative ideals and be a liberal, e.g. someone may beleive promiscuity is bad while allowing others to be promiscuous. Similarly one can be promiscuous w/o forcing others to be promiscuous.Originally Posted by Devastatin Dave
Liberals who champion positive rights, things like affirmative action, are not representative of all liberals; that is a corruption of the word. Leaning "left" is not equivilant to being liberal, and leaning "right" isn't equivilant to being conservative. Conservatism is generally opposed to progressivism.Originally Posted by Devastatin Dave
