Liberals believe in individual freedoms, Conservatives believe in restricting individual freedoms. Liberals believe in restricting economic freedoms because a completely free market would harm the masses, Conservatives believe in complete economic freedom because profit is more important than people

True freedom for banks: freedon to lend people more then they cann afford, banks to be as greedy and deregulated as possible = world wide crash. Liberals want freedom from greed of companies and multinationals, conservatives want everyone to stand up strait and lok down on the rest.

I appreciate your honesty about being a lifelong socialist. However, if you have lived under socialism all your life, then I am fairly sure that you do not know what true freedom is all about. But I do, and I will not let that freedom go. We are not the first people to have mutually pledged to protect that freedom, and we won't be the last. A freedom that is so sacred that people pledged to protect it with their lives, fortunes, and their sacred honor, and it's working. Those are not just words in a 200 year old document. It is a core belief that runs deep in this nation. Believe it or not, we are winning the war against socialism in this country. People are awake and enlightened, and working to stop it . We almost let freedom slip through our fingers, but the last election has shown that Socialism will never take hold here in America. We are Americans. We don't 'do' socialism, and we never will. Thank you again for your honesty. God Save America! ~homeschooljules Everybody is a genius.

They will also be forced to cut back, depending on existing inventory to buy those $10 cigars.
