More people identify as conservatives because the word liberal has been so thoroughly demonized. The fact is that most of those who consider themselves "moderate" probably vote Democrat.

I am a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. I consider myself more of a traditional conservative, I agree a lot with Ron Paul. I cannot stand the religious conservatives or the neocon chickenhawks who are always trying to get our country into wars. The current conservative mainstream is the composition of the worst types of ignorance allowable in our society. They completely disgust me.

Seems like Liberalism has direct connection with more people on welfare and government handouts............Ummm, could there be a connection, between the two??

More people, are on these programs, then any time in our nation and Liberalism is on the rise................

That's your speculation. The fact is that liberalism is more popular than it's been in the last 20 years. The other poster said that Obama has made Americans run away from calling themselves liberals. Clearly, that's not the case.

Somewhere out there, there is a scientist working on curing liberalism. Hopefully a cure will be found and we can go back to being a prosperous nation again.

I'll repeat... many jobs were outsourced to China during the Clinton years. What did Clinton do about it? Also, remember that NAFTA and GATT were passed during the Clinton years.

I will repeat as well: go back to right before Communism is mentioned in this thread to understand why it was brought up.

I am not arguing about Clinton.
