That would be a good thing, in general I like what liberal parties stand for (even though they might not always live up to it).
Having grown up in a very conservative environment I am cured from conservatism for life

That would be a neat trick. Especially back in the day when the Democrats were the conservative party.

There are lots of ways.

For instance, liberals are more likely than conservatives to support legalization of marijuana, a harmless recreational drug, and in any event much less dangerous than either alcohol or tobacco.

Liberals are much more likely than conservatives to supportive reproductive rights: not just abortion, but also contraception and factual and informative sex education in schools. Liberals are also much less likely than conservatives to kill people with different views on abortion than they have.

Liberals are much more likely than conservatives to ask the government to impose religious orthodoxy on the public by calling for government support of religious observances, calling for religious indoctrination in the public schools (school prayer, creationism in the schools, and the like).

Liberals are much more likely than conservatives to accept different kinds of families, including single-parent families and same-sex couples.

I'll tell you why: Because my point makes too much sense for either one of you to rebut. That's why. So instead of admitting it, you stay silent. Enjoy your popcorn and the meaningless contribution you've made to this thread.

Here's a reminder of the question that's being ignored:
Ok, here's a serious answer: liberal politicians follow their own biased orthodoxy, and conservative politicians follow their own biased orthodoxy. As far as this goes, the two sides are on the whole equivalent. If you seriously think that liberals are so "bad" in their bias and orthodoxy but your side is somehow on the moral high road as far as this goes, then I can't take you seriously.

And of course the Libs will deny it, even when faced with the facts.
I keep tellling you conservatives that we're not going back to the days when the Democratic Party (note--there is no such thing as the Democrat Party) supported racism, even though that would presumably bring you back.

Again, you prove that you do not know your history of the parties... The dems always have been racist and always will be.

They still support racism, you probably support racism, since you are so much wanting to defend the dems for their racism... well, that is fine, you and your white buddies can keep hating on blacks and the rest of the minorities.
