I found this on www.altcity.com: Liberal - A wealthy person who comprehends that his or her relatively comfortable position in life was assisted--at least in part--by birth or fortunate circumstances. A person who suffers from empathy for those less fortunate bordering on guilt--such that this person sees fit to support inefficient and bloated bureaucratic programs ostensibly designed to assist the economically disadvantaged but that generally serve only to further line the pockets of the already well-to-do and that are extremely unlikely to deliver 2 cents worth of actual directed benefit for every tax dollar spent. Conservative - A wealthy person who is willing to make everyone pay for big government only if it helps facilitate or preserve an economic system that wholly benefits anyone who has already got his or hers. A person who preaches less government and bureaucracy while rushing to spend countless billions on defense, prisons, police, highways and other corporate welfare. An individual who thinks that the only legitimate arena for government is an unfathomably expensive "home security system" for the rich and who believes that the rest of government's services would be more fairly distributed by the free market system--in other words, only to those with the means to afford them. A person who either has no empathy for those less fortunate or is somehow able to rationalize any away--such that this person sees fit to support inefficient and bloated bureaucratic programs designed primarily to punish the economically disadvantaged but that generally serve only to further line the pockets of the already well-to-do and that are extremely unlikely to deliver 2 cents worth of actual directed punishment for every tax dollar spent. Since so few Americans (5% at most) actually benefit economically from such policies, core conservatives have wisely formed a coalition with social conservatives who come from a wide variety of economic backgrounds but who are strangely more concerned with revenge, xenophobia and other people's religious, sexual and reproductive choices than their own pocketbooks. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
