	Liberal conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liberal conservatism is a variant of conservatism that combines the classical conservative concern for established tradition, respect for authority and (sometimes) religious values with liberal ideas, especially on economic issues (see economic liberalism, which advocates free market capitalism).
		This may be one of the reasons why the most prominent form of liberal conservatism in the world is American conservatism (known simply as "conservatism" in the United States).
		Liberal conservative political parties exist in a number of countries, and they are usually most entrenched in Anglo-Saxon cultures.

	Liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liberals are in favour of a pluralist system in which differing political and social views, even extreme or fringe views, compete for political power on a democratic basis and have the opportunity to achieve power through periodically held elections.
		Liberals in Europe are generally hostile to any attempts by the state to enforce equality in employment by legal action against employers, whereas in the United States many liberals favor such affirmative action.
		Liberal conservatism is a hybrid of economic liberalism and conservative social philosophy.

		Liberalism is a political current embracing several historical and present-day ideologies that claim defence of individual liberty as the purpose of government.
		Liberals also argued that nations which had been under imperial rule should be allowed to form their own states, and that old empires should be broken up, at least on the European continent.
		In a liberal state, their function is to act as a collective bargaining counterweight to the power of corporations, where as in social democracy, they are part of the power structure, and often assured of seats on corporate boards and a legally backed voice in the operation of large corporations.

	Capitalism
		Of course, the precise ideology meant by "capitalism" in the latter sense differs: what a Marxist or Green may describe as capitalist ideology may seem thoroughly alien to what a classical liberal means by calling her- or himself a capitalist, and vice versa.
		Although it is arguable whether these meanings the word "capitalism" of the same kind are somehow "equivalent" under someone's subjective notion of equivalence, for the sake of not making a straw man argument when accusing someone else to be a proponent of capitalism, these different concepts must be clearly distinguished.
		Related ideologies: classical liberalism (libertarianism, minarchism, anarcho-capitalism), conservatism (political conservatism), mercantilism, protectionism, social democracy (welfare state, liberalism, political liberalism, liberal democracy), state interventionism, state capitalism, socialism, fascism, communism, libertarian socialism.

	What Is Conservatism and What Is Wrong with It?
		Modern-day liberals often theorize that conservatives use "social issues" as a way to mask economic objectives, but this is almost backward: the true goal of conservatism is to establish an aristocracy, which is a social and psychological condition of inequality.
		Conservatism constantly changes, always adapting itself to provide the minimum amount of freedom that is required to hold together a dominant coalition in the society.
		Conservatism has gotten so out of sync with the conditions of a modern economy that significant numbers of wealthy people, especially young entrepreneurs who live and breathe the liberal culture that makes successes like theirs possible, would be happy to help build the institutions that a democratic society needs.

	Birdman Bryant: Liberal Libertarian Conservatism
		In gender matters, liberals are right to assert that women should not be chained to hearth and home, but wrong to think that women can be just like men or that most women would be happy in a role other than that dictated by 'anatomy is destiny'.
		In sexuality, liberals are right that sex does not have to be rigidly limited to marriage, but wrong to think that sex is merely another form of recreation such as picnics or quoits.
		At the present moment, the extremes of the liberal philosophy are reaching a peak of abusiveness, and thereby generating strong pressures for a different and equally unpleasant extreme.

	USS Clueless - Liberal Conservatism
		And the Berkeley Liberals also want to use the power of the state to do good, only what they wish to ban is much deeper, for they want to infringe my freedom of thought and of expression much more profoundly.
		Unfortunately, the ideological allies of America's Berkeley Liberals have used their governmental power in Europe to pass laws criminally punishing hate speech, and they're trying to go much further than that with a new treaty, which paints with a very broad brush.
		And that is why they are not liberal, because the fundamental liberal position is that government should not needlessly meddle in the lives of citizens.

	What's wrong with moderate anti-feminism

		In short, Miss Sommers is an individual-rights liberal who is conservative in the sense that she believes there are natural differences between the sexes that society should not deny or suppress through egalitarian legislation.
		She proposes an individual-rights liberalism modified by acceptance of natural human differences, while (in the manner of a pure individual-rights liberal) she denies any larger social, moral, and natural wholes, including sex roles, by which human life could be organized.

	Conservatism
		As the caller introduced himself and brought note to his liberal credentials he did not launch into an emotional diatribe and character assassination against Limbaugh or his political beliefs, but announced his praise of President George Bush for embracing his favorite cause of federal funding of AIDS programs both domestically and internationally.
		Such is the direction of conservatism when its expositors gain power over federal funds to use as a tool to preserve partisan incumbency.
		Those who are drawn to the promise of GOP conservatism might want to remember that its biggest cheerleader, Rush Limbaugh, now counts among his friends liberal AIDS activists and applauds new government entitlements.

	Liberalconservatism
		The Liberal Democrats have a problem because those to the left of the party and literally ‘left wing’ politicians and those to the right are literally ‘right wing’ politicians and there is a world of difference between the two.
		The Liberal Democrats can’t make up their mind and that is why CK was such a good leader because he would avoid the question with a joke but the new leader will eventually have to take the plunge and at that point their votes will start to seep back to the two main parties.
		Another point of particular annoyance for me is how the Liberal Democrats somehow seem to think they are the Liberal party of old (our best election result for 80 years ect…) it seems to be ludicrous and they do nothing but sully the great party of Gladstone and Asquith by their association.

		The word liberal has been successfully spun ("Card-carrying liberal" has become the equivalent of "card-carrying Communist") but what the word liberal means, if one consults the dictionary, is "marked by generosity," "not literal or strict," "broadminded, not marked by authoritarianism or orthodoxy"--the overwhelming connotation is positive.
