@Southie

Some examples of liberal vs moderate vs conservative

Recent Iraq war -
hardcore liberals were against it - maybe < 10% of population
moderates and conservatives were for it

Recycling where it is not mandatory
Liberals recycle - not because the law says so, but because it is for the greater good
Moderates - can go either way
Conservatives (by modern day definition- tea party types - mock liberals as tree huggers

Driving gas guzzlers:
Liberals will be responsible - try to maximize fuel efficiency
Moderates: could go either way - cant be too bothered
Conservatives (modern day definiton) - will drive SUVs, HUMVs - believe God has given them these resources to use. will do what is convenient, and to defend their position, mock science and question it - will want 100% proof global warming tied to greenhouse gases

Katrina disaster
Liberals were outraged at the treatment of blacks
Moderates - TV - portrated some blacks “looting” - that is getting bare minimum supplies in the aftermath of disaster
conservatives - mocked the blacks - stating they were not intelligent enough to heed warnings and vacate the area - essentially deserved what they got.

Liberal - will use resources as needed - wont waste
Moderate - could go either way
Conservative - will water their lawn, insist everyone keeps their lawn fully green, put up festival lights 2 months before and literally light up the sky

Yes, this is one person’s perspective “or where I am in the liberal to conservative scale”

your points are valid …but they are not at all related to this thread…because the thread discusses ‘desis’…what you mentioned is discussion about socio-political climate of USA…where the terms have more significance in political terms…
