What’s happening to college students these days anyways? Do they go to college so they can lose all their ability to think clearly, chosing instead to mindlessly regurgitate idiotic inane far left dogma?
This silly girl is not even fit to clean Ted Cruz’s shoes.

For example, I’m so sick of same-sex marriage talk. At this point, people who oppose it are kind of wasting their time.

Well right there is one big difference between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives still believe that America can regain a sense of decency and morality while liberals are simply happy that our society is sliding down the crapper........

She should have titled this article: What’s the difference between my vile description of conservatism and my mental disorder.

“Truthfully, we are all sheep, though some of us wear troll’s clothing, and we all suffer from hating each other.”

huh?

What’s the difference between liberals and conservatives?

He needs to define what is meant by the terms "liberal" and "conservative."

"Liberal" is often used by political opponents to describe leftists, but it should not be.

"Conservative" is as misunderstood by the Right as it is by the Left.

"Conservative" is not "right wing", nor is it "the center" or the "middle way", but rather is rooted in the application of unchanging Natural Law.

IMHO, a "leftist" is a liberal without moderation; a "right-winger" is a conservative without moderation.

All this should be understood in the context of fashion. As the Left gains more influence, "the center" moves ever-further left. The Natural Law, however, never changes, thus genuine conservatives remain grounded in unchanging truth.

A gap so vast that those on the liberal side can never cross it or even comprehend it. Difference between liberals and establishment Republicans? Almost none.
