Conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In early liberal philosophy 'Nature' and the environment were treated as a resource to be exploited: value derived from their human use, in accordance with the labor theory of value. Burkean conservatives value them for their own sake, because they are the result of long experience, but religious conservatives may use 'community values' as a euphemism for their own Christian values, or even for theonomy. The Conservative Party in Britain was a staunch defender of the British Empire, and was responsible for initial brutal repression of African decolonisation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Conservative

Encyclopedia: Liberal Party of Australia The Liberals were in power in Victoria from 1955 (the election in which they defeated John Cain Sr) to 1982 (in which they were defeated by the last Labor Premier's son, John Cain Jr) and in South Australia (under several names) from 1932 to 1965. The Liberal Party's organisation is dominated by the six state divisions, reflecting the party's commitment to a federalised system of government (perhaps their most strongly held policy and certainly one of the few that has remained since the party's creation). Liberal may refer to: Politics: Liberalism, an adherent of the ideology espousing individual liberty and private property, meaning varies country to country American liberalism, a political trend in the USA Modern liberalism, in the USA, describes a political ideology that favors government intervention to promote equality Political progressivism, a political... www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Liberal-Party-of-Australia

USAstudy.doc Another difference between the most liberal and conservative major cities is that many of the cities with the largest populations appear in the liberal top ten, such as Detroit, San Francisco and Chicago, whereas many of the smaller urban areas such as Anaheim, Colorado Springs and Mesa are located on the conservative side. Although on average conservative candidates achieve more support in these smaller cities than in major cities it by no means classifies them as conservative in nature, since the majority of the population voted for liberal candidates over conservative opponents in fifteen out of the twenty cities. Nearly half of the most liberal cities in the nation are from the Northeast, confirming the notion that the Northeast coast of the United States remains a liberal stronghold. votingresearch.org /USAstudy.doc

TAP: Web Feature: Label Whores, Take Two:. by Geoffrey Nunberg. April 22, 2002. Goldberg didn't bother to check how many of those instances of "conservative" and "liberal" were used as labels of American politicians or interest groups, much less to relativize those numbers to the occurrences of the names of each. One other point worth mentioning is that Boyd did another search that included not just the labels "conservative" and "liberal," but also the labels "right wing" and "left wing," which increased the disparity in the labeling of conservatives to around 30 percent. As Bozell puts it: "Nunberg found liberal politicians were tagged in 4.8 percent of stories to conservatives' 3.6 percent. www.prospect.org /webfeatures/2002/04/nunberg-g-04-22.html

OpinionJournal - Featured Article While references to liberal senators in the Times evoke a brave defense of the liberal platform (key words: icon and stalwart), the newspaper portrays conservatives as cantankerous lawmakers seeking to push their agenda down America's throat. In contrast, the 10 most conservative senators were identified as "conservative" in 9.03% of the stories in which they were mentioned, nearly three times the rate for liberal senators. Liberal and conservative senators also received different treatment from the Washington Post. www.opinionjournal.com /editorial/feature.html?id=110004307

Liberal or Conservative? A liberal judge may believe that the constitution should be reinterpreted by each genaration - while a conservative judge believes that the original intent of the framers of the constitution is paramount. In the former Soviet Union a conservative is pro-communist - a liberal is pro-democratic. In the United States a conservative is (generally) opposed to moves towards socialism - a liberal is less resistent to moves towards socialistic answers to political probelms. home.att.net /~kmpope/LiberalConservative.html

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Op-Ed > James O. Goldsborough -- Not a conservative vs. liberal issue Although Republicans like to cast war opponents as misguided liberals, there are mainstream conservatives who never liked Bush's war and are lobbying for an early retreat of U.S. forces from Iraq. Conservative criticism of Bush's war gets to the heart of what conservativism means and why it is at odds with neoconservatism, which has nothing to do with bedrock conservative principles. Conflicts within the conservative movement are nothing new, but the split with neoconservatives is dramatic. www.signonsandiego.com /news/op-ed/goldsborough/20040726-9999-lz1e26golds.html

Conservative, Liberal, Principled (washingtonpost.com) Liberals have so little respect for conservatives these days that people on the left are genuinely astonished when people on the right have principled disagreements with each other. Yet the liberals' opposition to many of Bush's policies -- in particular his Social Security program and his tax cuts for the wealthy -- cannot be dismissed as a blind rejection of whatever this controversial president proposes. It would be premature to predict that the rise of new issues in the first quarter of 2005 marks the beginning of a "conservative crack-up," a phrase invoked by conservative writer R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/articles/A8327-2005Mar28.html

Why are we conservative or liberal? MetaFilter Conservatives accuse liberals of prevaricating and being wishy-washy. The liberal team of course wants the children to remain ignorant of the game, for if they're able to stave off the single minded, win-at-all-costs conservatives for just a few moments longer, those are a few more minutes in which the children can remain innocent. Liberals often make this argument in terms of plurality and negotiation; that is, we *have* to talk about this and discuss this particular issue; because if we don't, something bad will happen. www.metafilter.com /mefi/32072

The Claremont Institute: The Legend of the Social Liberal-Fiscal Conservative Conservative luminaries, such as Jon Coupal (President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association), Assemblyman John Campbell, and nationally syndicated radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt, vouched for Arnold's fiscal conservatism and urged fellow conservatives to give him a pass on his social liberalism. For the most part, a conservative is a conservative and a liberal is a liberal. According to many, liberalism and conservatism can be added to the political soul of a politician in various combinations, like air conditioning or an automatic transmission can be added to the basic automobile package. www.claremont.org /writings/janiskee031015.html

Villainous Company: Conservative Vs. Liberal Blogs: The Continental Divide If conservative blogs are more generous linkers, and they link to each other more often than to liberal blogs, and they dominate the top end of the rankings, then one would logically expect bloggers in general to link more often to conservative blogs. Once we remove from our analysis all URLs pointing to political blogs, the liberal and conservative blogs both had an average similarity of 0.083 and 0.087, a difference that is not statistically significant. This point arose during an earlier discussion on the question of whether a lack of cross-linking between liberal and conservative blogs leads to a too much uniformity of opinion: www.villainouscompany.com /vcblog/archives/2005/03/conservative_vs.html

AllRefer.com - Nicaragua - Conservative and Liberal Regimes, 1858-1909 Nicaraguan Information Resource AllRefer.com - Nicaragua - Conservative and Liberal Regimes, 1858-1909 The Conservative Party (Partido Conservador) ruled in Nicaragua from 1857 to 1893, a period of relative economic progress and prosperity sometimes referred to as the "Thirty Years." A railroad system connecting the western part of Nicaragua with the port of Corinto on the Pacific coast was built, and roads and telegraph lines were extended. Although a conservative, Sacasa was from León, not Granada, and his election produced a split within the ruling Conservative Party. reference.allrefer.com /country-guide-study/nicaragua/nicaragua18.html

DaveShearon: Liberal/Conservative One thing seems to be that liberals are more uncomfortable than conservatives with politicians or voters who take their faith seriously (with the exception of anti-war guilt and angst). Chavez professes to be a conservative, but, as I have noted before, this advocacy for government control of resources tilts him toward the liberal side of at least one key scale. Conservatives seem to be testing whether government resources can be channeled through faith-based efforts without invoking the negatives of government programs, but even here there are conservatives who oppose even this much involvement with government power. daveshearon.typepad.com /daveshearon/liberalconservative

4Forums.com - What is liberal/conservative ? Since I've seen a few threads devolve into "i'm a conservative and you're a liberal" I thought I might throw this one up here to try to figure out what most people see as liberal or conservative (or the result of liberalism or conservatism). If we were as conservative as we can get, then the government would have only a few responsibilities: to provide for the common defense and protect citizens rights to life, liberty, and property (which common defense falls under).

Samuel Johnson: Conservative or Liberal? People frequently try to understand Johnson in terms of being a conservative or a liberal — because it's often easier to understand the world if you can chunk it and classify it. Johnson argues for its liberalization in Rambler 114, where he deals with the inequity of capital punishment for robbery. Johnson's "original" Idler 22 (later pulled when he bound them in a published volume) deals with the slaughter of war, as told by a mother vulture to her brood; she concludes war is conducted solely for vultures. www.samueljohnson.com /jpolitics.html

Conservative or liberal? We are not a conservative paper, and we are not a liberal paper. In Boulder, conservatives are likened to skin-headed, misogynist, homophobic, neo-Nazi KKK sympathizers.

Media Reality Check -- 06/25/2002 -- Burying the Liberal Label on Network News But the lopsided way that network reporters applied these labels to conservatives and not liberals over the past five years confirms Goldberg’s observation that network reporters generally regard conservatives as having alien and eccentric views that need to be labeled, while liberal beliefs require no special identification. Conservative tags outnumbered liberal ones by wide margins during each of the five years, including both Democratic and Republican administrations and election and non-election years. Supreme Court Justices: Conservative Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and William Rehnquist were each labeled 13 times, while John Paul Stevens was labeled as liberal seven times. www.mrc.org /realitycheck/2002/fax20020625.asp

Michael Novak on compassion on National Review Online The politics of the last 25 years, in fact, roughly since New York City went bankrupt under an excess of liberal compassion, might be described as a steady transition from liberal compassion to conservative compassion. "Reagan Democrats," for instance, have been voting for conservative changes in the liberal status quo for many years. When liberals are in power, the homeless do not disappear, but stories about the homeless disappear from the press. www.nationalreview.com /contributors/novak011402.shtml

Liberal Party of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Liberal Party was founded on 31 August 1945, after Robert Menzies called a conference in 1944 of conservative parties and other groups opposed to the ruling Australian Labor Party. The Commonwealth Liberal Party was a fusion of the non-Labor parties in 1909 in response to Labor's growing electoral prominence. The Liberal Party's organisation is dominated by the six state divisions, reflecting the party's commitment to a federalised system of government (perhaps their most strongly held policy and certainly one of the few that has remained since the party's creation). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Australia

The Gadflyer: Liberal, Liberal, Liberal Obviously, if you want to know how liberal or conservative a Senator is, the best thing to do is to look at their entire career. But conservatives have worked very hard to make the word "liberal" call up negative stereotypes — mushy-headed, wimpy, indulgent of deviant behavior and sexual transgression, disrespectful of religious faith, and so on. No, the intention is that if they repeat the "most liberal Senator" charge, lots of people will say to themselves, "Gee, I don't know, that Kerry is so liberal." Ask them just what that means and a scant few could tell you. gadflyer.com /articles?ArticleID=181

What Liberal Media? --Eric Alterman The fact that conservatives howl so much louder and more effectively than liberals is one significant reason that big media is always on its guard for “liberal” bias but gives conservative bias a free pass. Is it the liberals who are purported to be running the newsrooms, television and radio stations of this country, duping an unsuspecting public into mistaking their party line for news? confronts the question of liberal bias and, in so doing, provides a sharp and utterly convincing assessment of the realities of political bias in the news. www.whatliberalmedia.com

Roger L. Simon: QU'EST-CE QUE C'EST... LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE? Another bright young blogger, Paul Muller of Heretical Ideas, is asking liberals and conservatives to find kind words to say about people on the opposite side of the political spectrum. Like: liberal (in the sense of "classical liberal" or quasi-libertarian), social democrat (the equivalent of the American "liberal"?), christian democrat, conservative, socialist, communist. Being a liberal can mean a lot of things (too many, in fact), just as being a conservative means you are theoretically in the same group with William Kristol and Anne Coulter. rogerlsimon.com /archives/00000211.htm

Liberal Slant - Watching the Conservative Corporate Owned Liberal Media.

Amazon.com: Books: Conservative votes, liberal victories: Why the right has failed I'm so tired of the liberal demagogues who label him a racist, anti-semite, or misogynist simply because they know that is the simplest and most spineless way to destroy a person's credibility. Pat left the GOP (Gang of Prostitutes), who sell their votes and virtue for the tax money they swore not to collect, to be spent on their "conservative" interests, or to woo the left into voting for them in the next election. there may be no other choice, consistent with conservative convictions (than to form a third party). www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0812905822?v=glance

FrontPage magazine.com :: Limousine Liberal, SUV Conservative by Michael Tremoglie In fact, limousine liberal is the perfect metaphor for vanden Heuvel. Katrina vanden Heuvel is your typical limousine liberal.

Amazon.com: Books: What Liberal Media? The Truth About Bias and the News Much of Alterman's argument comes down to this: the conservatives in the newspapers, television, talk radio, and the Republican party are lying about liberal bias and repeating the same lies long enough that they've taken on a patina of truth. Conservatives are always surprised to learn rank and file liberals do not feel companies like the New York Times and NBC are on our side. After years of hearing the common conservative lie that the media is liberal and biased, finally someone seeks to prove that the media leans right. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0465001769?v=glance

Liberal Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In April, 2005 David Kilgour, one of the party's two MPs from Alberta announced that he was leaving the party to sit as an independent member of the House of Commons due to the damaging allegations of corruption in the Liberal Party's Quebec wing based on testimony in the Gomery Commission inquiry. The Liberal Party was reduced from a majority to a minority government due, in part, to a Chrétien-era scandal in which advertising agencies supporting the Liberal Party received grossly inflated commissions for their services. When the Liberals formed a majority government after the 1993 election with Chrétien at the helm, party unity was assured by placing Martin, whom Chrétien had defeated for the party leadership in 1990, in the crucial role of Minister of Finance. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Canada

Encyclopedia: National Liberal Party (UK) Liberal democracy is a form of representative democracy where elected representatives that hold the decision power are moderated by a constitution that emphasizes protecting individual liberties and the rights of minorities in society, such as freedom of speech and assembly, freedom of religion, the right to private property and privacy... This is an (partial) overview of individuals that contributed to the development of liberal theory on a worldwide scale and therefore are strongly associated with the liberal tradition and instrumental in the exposition of political liberalism as a philosophy. The National Liberals evolved as a distinctive group within the Liberal Party in 1931 when the main body of Liberals were maintaining in office the second Labour government of Ramsay MacDonald, who lacked a majority in Parliament. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/National-Liberal-Party-(UK)
