What is difference between liberal party and the conservation party?

Answer 1

efore one can say why one is a liberal, one can hardly avoid trying to say what a liberal is. In the semantic warfare of our age, world like "liberalism" and "conservatism" have come almost to acknowledge fashions rather than to express meanings. Thus a few years back even some conservatives began to call themselves liberals - now even some liberals are beginning to call themselves conservatives.

But, if one cannot at first say what the difference between liberalism and conservatism is, one can at least say what it isn't. Many of the current attempts at the identification of species, I regret to say, seem to me misleading or erroneous.

Thus we are told that the difference between liberal and conservative is that the liberal believes in the perfectibility of man while the conservative has a conviction of human limitation and original sin. Yet no one has preached to this generation more effectively of the reality of human imperfection than the liberal (in politics, at least.) Reinhold Niebuhr, while it was Andrew Carnegie, a conservative, who used to say of man that there was no "conceivable end to his march to perfection." And it would be hard to argue for example that the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the conservative, show a greater sense of the frailty of human striving or the tragedy of the human condition than those of the liberal Adlai E. Stevenson.
