Liberals – Conservatives – What’s the Difference?
Conservatives believe in personal responsibility and limited government. They believe in traditional American values and a strong national defense. https://quizlet.com/54585131/us-government-test-1-flash-cards/
Conservatives – Red State Inhabitants
Big government, big business. Gay rights, fetal rights. The politics of extremes drive the United States. Congress is in an endless impasse because of both parties’ inability to find middle ground on practically anything. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/calling-truce-political-wars/
Abortion
6 Conservative Responses to the Left’s Pro-Abortion Arguments http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/6-conservative-responses-to-the-lefts-pro-abortion-arguments/
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Republican views on Affirmative Action tend to be negative. They believe that policies such as these force employers and schools to consider lesser-qualified candidates for the sake of having a more diverse representation. For this reason, the party has often fought for a repeal of Affirmative Action legislation. http://www.republicanviews.org/republican-views-on-affirmative-action/
Death Penalty
The death penalty is not ‘cruel’ nor ‘unusual.’ Take a life, and you should lose your own.
Economy
The free market system creates the greatest opportunity and the highest standard of living for all.
Education – vouchers & charter schools
School vouchers create competition and as a result encourage schools to improve performance. Vouchers give all parents the right to choose good schools for their children.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Support the use of adult and umbilical cord stem cells only for research. It is wrong for the government to fund embryonic stem cell research. Human life begins at conception.
Energy
Oil, gas and coal are all good sources of energy and are abundant in the U.S. Oil drilling should be increased both on land and at sea. Increased domestic production creates lower prices and less dependence on other countries for oil. Support increased production of nuclear energy.
Euthanasia & Physician-assisted suicide
Neither euthanasia nor physician-assisted suicide should be legalized. It is immoral and unethical to deliberately end the life of a terminally ill person (euthanasia), or enable another person to end their life (assisted suicide).
Global Warming/Climate Change
Change in global temperature is natural over extended periods of time. Science has not shown that people can affect permanent change in the earth’s temperature. Proposed laws to reduce carbon emissions will do nothing to help the environment and will cause significant price increases for all. Many reputable scientists support this theory.
Gun Control
The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Individuals have the right to defend themselves. Putting more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens mean less crime.
Full text of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Healthcare
Conservatives support competitive, free market health care system. All Americans should have access to health care. The question is who should pay for it.
Homeland Security
Airport security
Profiling and intelligence data should be used to single out passengers for extra screening. Those who do not meet the criteria for suspicion should not be subjected to intense screening. https://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs/
Immigration
Support legal immigration only. Oppose amnesty for those who enter the U.S. illegally (illegal immigrants). Those who break the law by entering the U.S. illegally do not have the same rights as those who obey the law and enter legally.
Private Property
Conservatives respect ownership and private property rights. Eminent domain in most cases is wrong. Eminent domain for private development is wrong.
Religion & Government
The First Amendment to the Constitution says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” It does not prevent God from being acknowledged in schools and government buildings. https://ffrf.org/news/action/item/2130-sand-springs-city-council-first-amendment
Same-sex Marriage
Marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Conservatives say that requiring citizens to sanction same-sex relationships violates moral and religious beliefs of millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims and others, who believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman.
Social Security
The Social Security system is in serious financial trouble. Significant changes to the current system are urgently needed. Social Security must become more efficient through privatization and allow individuals to manage their savings.
Taxes
Lower taxes and a smaller government with limited power will improve the standard of living for all. Conservatives support lower taxes and a smaller government.
United Nations (UN)
The UN has repeatedly failed in its essential mission to promote world peace and human rights. History shows that the United States spreads freedom, prosperity, tolerance and peace throughout the world. The U.S. should never subvert its national interests to those of the UN. Conservatives believe the U.S. should never place troops under UN control. U.S. military should always wear the U.S. military uniform, not that of UN peacekeepers.
War on Terror/Terrorism
Terrorism poses one of the greatest threats to the U.S. The world toward which the militant Islamists strive cannot peacefully co-exist with the Western world. Captured terrorists are enemy combatants. Trying them in military courts is the correct action.
Welfare
Conservatives oppose long-term welfare. Opportunities should be provided to make it possible for those in need to become self-reliant. It is far better to encourage people to become self-sufficient, instead of allowing them to remain dependent on government assistance.
