Wouldn't being a ultra-conservative make you Amish? I think the rest is really liberal don't you?

George W. Bush is a perfect example of what I think is your point.

Do all conservatives truly believe they're holier than thou?\n\nGod forbid there be an opposing viewpoint to ANYTHING, because we all know there is only ever one definative answer or ideology to address any given issue.

Many folks in these parts think that it would be just fine if there were no more liberals around, anywhere. They see liberals as anti-religion, anti-American, and anti-anything that they believe in. People develop these attitudes as they are brought up. They get their viewpoints from their parents, their friends, their ministers, and others in their circle of acquaintances. People develop their attitudes irrationally and, unfortunately, not with their own minds. In other words, people do not think for themselves very much.\n\nOne night many years ago, William Jennings Bryan was speaking before a crowd of mostly farmers in Omaha, Nebraska. Afterwards, a young farmer came up to Bryan and earnestly inquired. "Why did God make conservatives?"\n\nBryan replied with another question, "When you want to plow a field, what kind of horses do you use?" The farmer replied that he used his strongest team.\n\n"Well," replied Bryan, "So what kind of plow would you use?" The farmer said he would use the best he had, the one that would plow the deepest and hold fast in the ground.\n\n"Well," said Bryan, "God made strong horses and stubborn plows and that way you get your field cultivated. So God made liberals--they are the strong horses--and conservatives--they are the plow--and if the liberals pull and the conservatives hold on, the work gets done. We need both."\n\nToday most people are quick to claim that they are "a conservative". Fewer claim to be liberals. Some call themselves "progressives", which I take to be a code word for liberal. The word liberal is spelled with four letters in the minds of many Southerners. But how many of us actually know anything about liberalism, or even conservatism, and the respective histories of these traditions? When we say that we are one or the other, what are we really saying?\n\nLiberals and conservatives historically differ in style and in temperament; and where they differ particularly is in their attitudes toward change. "The castle which conservatism is set to defend," said Ralph Waldo Emerson, "is the actual state of things, good and bad." Against this view the liberal urges the wisdom and the feasibility of change in order to improve the human and social condition. The conservative supposes that human contrivance is so treacherous a guide that efforts at making things better will generally produce more grief than good. The liberal, while he does not believe in the perfect nature of man or the infallibility of reason, does contend that intelligent decisions by mankind can improve individual opportunity and security. The conservative is the traditionalist; the liberal, the experimentalist.\n\nA society made up exclusively of conservatives or of liberals would be too dismal to contemplate. A good tension between the two camps provides fertile ground for society as a whole. "Each half is great," wrote Emerson, "but an impossible whole."\n\nWhile the liberal says, "Let's get going," the conservative says, "Wait a minute," and both are essential to progress. The job of innovation is usually performed by the liberal. The job of restraint is held by the conservative. While the durability of our society can be broadly attributed to conservatives, its creativity is the main province of its liberals.\n\nMost people, most of the time, are conservative for the same reason that they are conventional and accept and abide by the customs of their neighbors. They conceive of progress as a series of slow and relatively minor adjustments; drastic change almost always alarms them. The liberal is less patient in his search for remedies for the faults and failures he sees. He is prepared to accept change in larger doses. Both groups are always with us, and the political history of our country is mainly an account of the shifting strengths and weaknesses of these elements. From

Surprisingly accurate!\nI'm "mainstream to conservative Christian/Protestant" (100%)\n\nConsidering that I am a Christian (I consider myself an 'evangelical' Christian, which is a more conservative 'brand' I suppose), that was very spot on!\n\nHowever, I wonder how sensitive it is, given that I also got 80% for Mormon/Jehvoah's Witness, which I am not...\n\nthere was a lot of other issues the quiz could have tapped into, for example- how humans know about God, holy books (the Bible etc), who was Jesus (apparently Muslim and other religions believe he existed, but give him different roles).

I actually agree with a lot of the literalist interpretation of the Bible that fundamentalists would support, but I'm politically liberal for the most part, with a few exceptions.\n\nI support the legalization of Marijuana and prostitution, for instance. On the other hand, I'm not in favour of gay marriage.\n\nI definately don't walk in lock-step with any one particular group.

Sorry, but no not on your Conservative Christian side. This would be a Liberal platform that the Republicans would have no part of.

Wow-very very true! I can't believe you picked up on that.I thought I was the only one. \n\nyou are very perceptive. Don't Libs understand that it's Christianity that makes them act that way?\n\neverybody listen to this guy-he knows what he's talking about.

I am a conservative and I have some liberal friends.  Though we differ on certain issues we do have one thing in common and that is we are patriotic.  There are extreme liberals that spew with anti American rhetoric and those that do not.

yes, its showing ego and being superficial. Its the path of the devil. If you don't change your style to the Amish way soon, you'll be burnin in hell for all eternity.

we share similar but different views on politics and life. im just me. if you want to call me a liberal than whatever but i dont see myself belonging to any groups. mainly because i cant agree 100% with an individual group. my political ideas are intermingled. i would say though that i am more liberal than conservative. my parents are more conservative but have a few liberal ideas too. they are good people.

I can see how your question relates to your comments.  Oh, no, wait.  I see.  This was just a way for you to vomit your diatribe on how you don't like conservatives.  You're not really interest in a dialogue or an exchange ideas.  You just want to bash conservatives.  Ok...  at least you're honest.

No, that is perverse.  There are many Amish communities throughout the United States, from the East Coast to the West Coast.  Also, there are families in Europe.  \n\nAfter the Amish Rumspringa--- period of time when they reach 16 to go out into the world and experience everything---then the child chooses whether or not they want to remain in the Amish faith and lifestyle or join the "English---the world."\n\nAmish are very respectful, honorable, gentle, and faithful people.  I grew up around an Amish community.  They rely on each other and their faith in some incredible times.  Prostitution, perverse solicitation or inbreedingis not now, nor has it ever been, a part of the Amish culture.

Most Roman Catholics tend to be pretty conservative - I definitely am!!  You might want to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church for more information.

I like some Conservatives and some Liberals. Personally, I try to look beyond the "outer shell" and instead focus on the person. Many moderate Liberals have more in common with Conservatives than they do with "extremist" Liberals, and conversely, many moderate Conservatives have more in common with Liberals than they do with "extremist" Conservatives. \n\nConsequentially, in a lot of cases these names are actually misnomers because they carry ‘preloaded’ connotations that may not even be true. Major problems arise from slapping these broad labels on people because they encourage polarization rather than unity. In fact, the labels "Conservative" and "Liberal" have such extraordinarily negative connotations that they are used like socially acceptable profanity. You only need to spend a few minutes on Answers.com to see what I'm talking about. \n\nInterestingly, most people never really think about how they developed their beliefs. In most cases, people simply adopt whatever political affiliations that their parents had, just like most people unquestioningly adopt their parent’s religion. This kind of emotional, reactionary allegiance replaces rational thought and is therefore extremely dangerous. Let's stop the madness!

You;re probably neither, party politics never really fits snuggly with one's personal beliefs. Obviously im in the UK so its different parties but i believe the principal is the same, i vote Liberal but i do not agree with everything they say, its just as a previous answerer said its about chosing the lesser of the evils for yourself.

I'm an anabaptist, from the Church of the Brethren, but most of our churches are not very conservative. There are some conservative churches in my denomination. Check out www.brethren.org.
