EXTREME DIFFERENCES EXIST

Conservatives & Progressives Comparisons

By Lee S Gliddon Jr

I was watching FOX NEWS yesterday, 03/23/2011, and heard a young lady in her 20s being asked, "How do we get America back on course economically?" The answer she gave was both heartbreaking as well as reflective to Democrat brainwashing.

Her answer, "Rid America of all Conservatives."

I wish I were in the presence of that young lady so as to get her understanding as to why she would even think that much less voice such a ill thought out answer. Then I remembered that answer to a political question I had asked of a neighbor.

"Two things I do not discuss are religion and politics."


Well. religion is the most important thing we can possibly learn as it is only by belief in God that a chance for salvation is realized.

Now we get to politics.

Politics are a necessary evil as that is how the lives of citizens residing in a Republic are governed.

Democrats have gotten rid of political teachings in our schools that are contrary to the Liberal (political) crowd. They say one thing yet deliberately do another. To their view, and this is what they teach, Conservatives want to live in the past and not progress!

Nothing could be further from the truth than that outright lie!

Conservatives are men and women that believe in people rather than government. They are open-minded, protective of the U.S. Constitution. and are against governmental regulation of the lives of the citizenry. They are extremely budget conscious and fight to live within their means. In a political sense they are of the belief that taxes are an evil necessity and to be kept at a minimum. Conservative politicians are the types that, if money runs out, will tell their constituents that more money is needed to pay for what is required and wait for an approval by those citizens before attempting to raise taxes.

Conservatives are good businessmen and women and know how to properly manage those who work under them and are quick to reward any that contribute to the success of their businesses.

Conservatives, for the most part, are believers in God, generous to those in need and are, all in all, fair minded.

Now, lets look at Progressives in comparison.

Progressives are anything but progressive. It is their firm belief that government can, not only, regulate every facet of the people's lives, but has the duty to do so. The U.S, Constitution is a mere guideline to be loosely interpreted and followed only when convenient. Budgets are an inconvenient way of living and are ignored. Taxes are a way to control the citizenry and are levies to allow more spending. If the citizenry says "NO"
that has no meaning to them!

In order to remain in office  Progressive politicians will create programs that give money to those less fortunate so as to secure their votes.

Now look at the comparison when it comes to Illegal Immigration.

Conservatives are the types of people that say, "There is a law on the books that addresses proper Immigration processes and procedures. Follow them."

Progressives say, "Illegal Immigrant are prospective voters. If we give them money and services that are free from cost to them they will vote for us." Then, to belittle Conservatives they add, "anyone that refuses to give money and services to downrtrodden and mean spirited."

These are the basic differences between Conservatives and Progressives.

As if to confuse those differences further Conservatives are labeled as "Obstructionists" politically for their refusal to spend beyond the nation's needs. On the other hand Progressives label themselves as Liberals.

Know this, Conservatives are not Liberals as they openly admit that workers actually worked for their money and that it is their to do with as they choose. Progressives use the word Liberal as it is their intent to 'liberate' as much money from workers as is humanly possible!

I wonder if the young lady interviewed would be so quick as to give the same answer had she read this before she said what she said?
