When a liberal speaks, it is either one way or the opposite. No compromise, no gray area, just either you agree or you are the enemy. Got news for you friend, that is just plain stupid thinking. You totally gave away your liberal stance by saying if you are not going forward, you have to be going backward. that is not true in any way or form. You talk about opposites, like they are a rule. They aren't, but you are too ignorant to understand. That is not an attack, just an observation.

I consider Liberals to be a progressive decline in democracy, ethics and morals. Unlike you, I don't see your progressiveness as a positive thing.

Conservative = holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion.

I've looked at several definitions of conservative and have yet to see it associated with being "regressive." (spelled properly, I believe).

But, if you are listening to your messiah in D.C. then its either a poor/bad agreement or bill, or a fight or war. One extreme or the other extreme. NO compromise.

So, liberals are just spoiled children, requiring their way or no way. Their way or the opposite way.
