This will depend upon what is being protested. In general, protests against war, violence and discrimination will tend to be liberal while protests against taxation, government spending and government regulations tend to be conservative.
Not usually. Right wing parties tend to hold conservative views.
Atlanta, like most major US cities, tends to be liberal. The state of Georgia as a whole is highly conservative. This trend is not unique to US cities. Internationally the more the population of a city, the more likely it is to be liberal. There is a large youth, Latino, and African American populous within Atlanta that tend to vote liberal.
There is no definitive percentage as political affiliation among teachers can vary. However, surveys suggest that a higher percentage of teachers identify as liberal compared to the general population.
This is purely an opinion. There are as many exceptional writers working for papers considered to be more conservative as there are for more liberal publications. The question is more an example of perceptual bias.
On the average, the Democrats are considered more liberal and the Republicans are considered more conservative. However, there are liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats. The Republicans tend to favor less government and the Democrats tend to favor more government, when dealing with domestic problems and individual and states' rights. Republicans tend to favor economic laws that regulate as little as possible. Democrats favor legislation that regulates industry for the protection of the consumer. Democrats tend to favor some sort of government aid for those individuals who need assistance. Republicans tend to favor was to help the states and local, private charities help individuals in need. Libertarians believe in a strong support of individual civil liberties, private property and the free market economy with little government intervention. They favor the least amount of government interference. They believe the individual should be left alone to do as he/she wishes, as long as there is no harm to any other person or group.
The two main voting blocks on the Supreme Court are typically referred to as the liberal wing and the conservative wing. The liberal wing usually consists of justices who generally support more liberal interpretations of the law and tend to favor progressive outcomes in cases. The conservative wing generally consists of justices who interpret the law more conservatively and tend to favor conservative outcomes. However, it is important to note that the Court's composition and dynamics can vary over time and on specific issues.
There are two modes or basic associations in politics. We have the Republican and Democratic branches. Republicans tend to be more of the mind set of conservative thinking. As the Democrats can tend be more liberal in their thinking.
A liberal believes that government can be used to alleviate social ills. A conservative holds that individuals are responsible for their own situation, and government should not be involved. A moderate holds an intermediate position between liberal and conservative. Democrats tend to be liberals and Republicans tend to be conservatives. Independents do not mark themselves as members of either of the two parties. A Democrat supports the policies of the Democratic party. Likewise Republicans. Each party has a set of guiding principles, and policy objectives they would like to accomplish. According to modern day university professors, conservative is used to describe any person or organization that is an oppressor, and liberal is used to describe any person or group that is oppressed.
There may be more liberal newspapers because of the demographics and interests of the readership, as well as the journalism industry being historically more left-leaning. Additionally, some may argue that conservative viewpoints are more commonly represented in other forms of media such as radio and television.
I would say UT is relatively conservative for a university, although still left of center. The main UT campus is probably the most liberal place in the state of TN. Anywhere that has a high concentration of intelligent, educated people will tend toward the liberal side.
I'm not sure that's an accurate statement. More accurate would be to say that certain regions of the United States (for example, the Northeast) tend to vote liberal, whereas other parts of the country (for example, the Deep South) tend to vote conservative. And while Americans are generally moderate on some issues, there is quite a divide between religious conservatives (especially Christian conservatives) and Americans who consider themselves not very religious. So, yes, you can find plenty of liberals in America (the term for where they live is "blue states"); but you can also find plenty of conservatives (who tend to live in what is called "red states").
