I am an extreme liberal

Maybe they have the lowest divorce rate because they never marry in the first place... or because they cannot....

Liberalism is an ideology, philosophical view, and political tradition which holds that liberty is the primary political value.[1] Liberalism has its roots in the Western Age of Enlightenment, but the term now encompasses a diversity of political thought.

Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights. It seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, free public education, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of all citizens are protected.[2] In modern society, liberals favor a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed.[3]
Which is the extreme opposit of conservatism in american politics.

They have a low divorce rate because they are the most educated population in the country.

The whole thing does not describe liberalism in America, but to emphasize the obvious, I quote: " ......., limitations on power, especially of government......" This is obviously 180 degrees out of phase, as liberals advocate more government. The other points contained are also extremely flawed reasoning, for example, liberals strive for equal outcomes, not equal opportunity to succeed. Dyslexia, you really must get a grip.

I bet he knows how to spell "programmed".

No need to.

Not in this thread, no. Very little thought required.

Or stupid conservative

Okie I can only say you have been programed rather than educated.

Dyslexia, do you wish to actually debate the subject, or do you wish to make statements without backing it up with evidence?

If you wish to debate limited government being a conservative or liberal idea, simply recall one of your favorite politicians, Barry Goldwater, when he ran against LBJ. LBJ was a liberal Democrat, and of course he instituted what is called the "Great Society," which was supposed to eliminate poverty in America. What it did of course is increase welfare and social programs, AND GOVERNMENT, not eliminate poverty, and a good argument exists that it failed because rewarding irresponsibility will only increase irresponsibility. This is a basic point that should be easily understood and acknowledged. Liberals do favor the use of government to institute equal outcomes, which of course is not limited government. This is an inescapable fact. Many examples exist, such as quotas, minimum wage, government assisted housing, grants, the list goes on.

Interestingly enough, one of the favorite arguments of Conservatives is that the poor in America have TVs and cars, etc... so, to a certain extent, could it not be argued that the 'great society' has been effective in some ways?
