Many conservatives feel that conservativism is such a great thing and yet when you look at the countries and places around the world that are conservative they are often have major problems (ie Saudi Arabia, Libya, Afghanistan[can't get much more conservative then that],etc.). Now, when you look at the liberal countries (most of Europe, Japan, S. Korea, etc.) they are in a hell of a better situation. Heck, the "conservatives" in many of those countries are the equivalent of many Democrats here. Even here in this country if you take away the more liberal areas (ie west coast, much the midwest, northeast) our country would be a shadow of itself. So where are these great examples of countries that conservatism produces?
America. There is a reason we rose to power in such a short time. The left wants to tear all that down though so we can become just like everybody else though. It's only fair after all right?

HA, have you ever read a book? America rose to power because we invaded a giant, perfect and strategically located piece of land and used slaves to generate enormous wealth. We found huge mineral deposits and mined them and created more wealth. We grew a huge army and based on all of that in less than 300 years are where we are at. Trust me, we are still infants in the grand scheme of things. Our growing pains will work themselves out.
People with no real intellectual curiosity or ability to investigate history think it is because of some divine manifest destiny.....or because of Ronald Reagan

Well, obviously, part of America is quite conservative but we have a democratic president and senate. And the Republicans would quite literally consider Obama and the rest of the democrats as socialists or even communists. Using republican logic wouldn't that mean we are a liberal country then?

We are a country infested with idiots right now so if you want to call that a liberal country then you have a point. We weren't a liberal country prior to this infestation. McCarthey tried to stop the madness but was shouted down. The city on the hill has become an inner city hell hole. We will change it back for the sake of our children though.

So you listed the extreme countries on the right, and the moderate countries on the left. Go a step further and mention North Korea, China, Vietnam, and Cuban in your list of liberal countries.
Somalia, Afghanistan, and Haiti seem to be exactly what they want. Sure, those countries are all disfunctional messes with barely functioning to non-functioning governments but at least no one pays any taxes and you don't have to worry about the evil government funding things like roads, schools, or public sanitation.

You are right, there are liberal countries that go too far. Extremism and fundamentalism in all forms is bad. Although, China and Vietnam are doing pretty well, especially for being communist. But which conservative countries then are good examples then?
