What does liberalism advocate?

Answer 1

Liberals work towards changing the ways that things have always been done to more progressive and/or fitting ways of doing things that follow their beliefs. The liberal tag has been attached to politicians, parties, and other social activities where there is a division of opinion.

Answer 2

Liberals are for Reform. They are mostly democrats.

Conservatists are their main opposition and are almost universally against reform

You might be a liberal (like me) if you support:

Cap and trade

Stimulus Bill

Health care Reform and the Public option

Don't believe in Racial profiling

Believe the troops should be better armed

Would rather have power in the govenment than the people

Believe that people should be free to practice any religion without discrimination

Another view:

I agree with the above comments, but the rest should be added!

Cap and trade increases our dependence on forgeign oil and raises taxes on the poor. (Really how so?) It restrict exploration and adds taxes to the oil pumped here!

The Stimulus bill increased dbt and added zero jobs. Inflation will cause serious increase in debt.

The health Care Reform will hurt 280 million's insurance and leave 30 million still uninsured. It will cost over 1.2 trillion according to the Democratic party. It will ration health for all. (Actually the health care bill prevents private companies from rationing and economists say it will lower costs, this will remain the job of the Government. For example breast exams will not be allowed before age 50)

ONLY the Conservative movement believes in better armed soldiers. It was the left that voted down increases in military spending. (Really? Why did the bush administration get rid not allow are troops to get the superior Dragon Armor even though tests had shown them to be better?) Because Bush was too Liberal.

Conservatives believe in limited Government and more individual freedom.

Liberals do not believe you should be able to even pray in a public building. They are against any religious freedom'
