What ever happened to democrats and republicans? Before Reagan we used those terms. Now we say liberals/conservatives.

very likely

I was watching cnn this morning. and there was an interview with general hamid gul of islaimadad pakistan. and he all but pointed the finger at the usa for 911. and said the neo cons and it was a inside job to take out the middle east for resources and start the wars and break up the coming economic power of the middle east.. & what not. straight out of the conspiracy theories.

.. took me by surprise. but then again we have war ships in his area. and were about to strike. the break up of the middle east is just about to happen.

The parties are very diverse. Not all Republicans are conservative and only recently has the evangelical voice taken over. A real conservative is small govt, low taxes, holds the Constitution sacred, believes in individual rights and a strong national defense as opposed to offense. The party was hijacked by neocons.

I'm not sure what's going on in the Dem party but know they don't all fit under one label, either. There are conservative dems (we have many of those in VA) and progressives- 2 incredibly different povs there.

Imo, the liberal/conservative label is irrelevant (and so are the parties) because they are both misused terms. The MSM has twisted the terms so everyday people think neoconservatives are actually conservatives and liberal is another word for progressive. They've manipulated the language. 1984 anyone?

Yes most of the stuff you'll find discussed by this and other websites are total B.S., it can be quite addicting following up on it nonetheless, especially when you're the kind of person who is searching for answers in life.
