You cannot change the definition of a word to fit your views...

(Why not? You liberals do all the time!)

Maybe you are more liberal than what you think...

(You don't understand much of what you read, do you?)

--------------

Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favor tradition and gradual change, where tradition refers to religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs.

(Look before you leap and think ahead, I can agree with that. Setting a standard for common decency, self reliance, self sufficiency, yes, not bad goals.)


Liberalism refers to a broad array of related ideas and theories of government that consider individual liberty to be the most important political goal.[1] Modern liberalism has its roots in the Age of Enlightenment.
Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity.

(Well, Liberalism has it's roots in the drug culture that you call the Age Of Enlightenment. What you described here is the roots of conservative libertarianism, not liberalism. Clue: Your not nearly as elightened as you think. Liberalism has it's true roots in the guilt brought on by the drug culture and alcohol culture and once liberals hit middle age and realise a guilty conciensce sets in, then they become liberals, not all, but a lot!Sort of like trying to make up for all the bad things liberals have done to others and making attonement requires taking assets form others, unless you were lucky enough to have rich parents, and create a co-dependency welfare state to make up for your wrongs.

In your mind maybe Liberalism emphasizes individual rights and opportunities, but it's not like liberals practise what they preach and this is a great example! As long as everyone thinks like liberals do, alls well with the world, but have a different set of beliefs and values and you will be a hate monger, racist and every other vile and vitriolic phrase that a liberal can utter when they run short on facts. So much for individual liberties.)

How do you think the liberals have spent all of our money.

(Liberals have stolen money that didn't belong to them by taxing the hell out of everyone and creating the large teat entitlement programs giving my earningsaway to those who contribute little or nothing, AKA more liberals financing their social marxist "great society" policies on the rest of us.)

Last time I checked it was the current wacko conservatives spending
2,000.00 a second on war.

(This administration is hardly conservative and since this is your example, I don't have to tell you your out of touch or out to lunch, you just did. In no way is George Bush a conservative. Senator Barry Goldwater was a conservative, Winston Churchill was a conservative, Ronald Reagan was a conservative..... Can you see the difference?)

How do you think education is controlled by liberals?

( Because the teachings of liberals undermine everything that does not agree with being liberal going as far as to throw college students out of college and to use every form of peer pressure including violence to intimidate with undue influence.)

Can you say "No child left behind", one of the biggest clusterfcuks to
happen to the education system.

(Once again, you blundered any point you might have made using Bush's no child left behind act in your argument. There is such a thing as taking responsibility for your own actions and parents should be raising their children, not the schools No child left behind was an attempt to undo political liberal correctnes at a local level, not a good one ,but one nevertheless because liberals did nothing but leave children behind who didn't follow the flo9ch and think like them.

Children from Conservative parents were and still are given consistently lower grades at school, even if they perform better, as a tool to get them to conform. This is showing up more and more inlawsuits as conservative s fight back and the movement is growing. Oddly enough, this was the message from Pink Floyd's The Wall. You have a lot of guts calling anyone a clusterfcuk!)
