William Kristol has Pallas quincunx Pluto and semisquare Jupiter. And just as liberals were once divided about their relation to the left, the key divisions now are often about whether to accommodate conservative ideas or reject them entirely, whether to rethink liberalism or only to restate it in the face of the conservative challenge. People focus on the latter, however, because we are tribal. “There could be a psychological element at work here, but the data is not convincing because it is too messy.” I think this is right.

Again, don’t just take my word for it — you can hear it for yourself: During the 2012 campaign, liberals on Twitter and other social media sites engaged in a relentless campaign of hate, routinely calling for the death of Mitt Romney, his wife and his supporters. To wingnuts, it’s a major point of debate; if they can “prove” that it is in any way incorrect, then global warming is a lie.

It is, however, a disposition which is usually latent. Then for each media outlet we simply ratio the number of times they say the right wing phrases to left wing phrases (or vice versa) Yes Fox News is biased slightly to the right (they say “left wing” or “far left” more 1.5 times often), but MSNBC is biased an amazing 6.7 times to the left (they say “right wing” or “far right” almost 7 times more often). The party has had some internal conflict over attitudes about how governments should run and how large they should be, what the party stands for, and what the party's attitude towards neo-conservatism should be especially in regard to foreign policy.

Despite the depiction in the main stream media, most conservatives are certainly not fringe social extremists – they are not homophobic bigoted, uneducated “rednecks”. In expression, outlooks are relatively un-affective. It refers only to the collectivisation of industry, not giving priority to the collective interest over that of the individual. Consistent with cultural conservatism, the chart has North Node quincunx Moon and square Moon's ruler Mercury. It is sobering in its straightforwardness ("Liberalism is a sin"), timely, and instructive.

Yet, of course, during periods of boom no-one (let alone the financial institutions and their supporting ideologues and politicians largely believed to be responsible for the bulk of the problems) would want to hear of caution and even thoughts of the kind of regulation that many are now advocating. Ive already judged which position is superior, so leave it at that... Ideologies often unconsciously underlie our values or world view --- our conception of the world --- and influence our perception of public affairs in general, including public policy.

Populist elitist bashing could, and National Review gave voice to both rhetorics. What we must learn to understand is that human civilisation has a life of it’s own. The Tories can make the massive cuts they feel are necessary to ensure the ongoing viability of Britain’s credit rating, and the Lib Dems can impose a tax on banks and massive bank profits, along with stricter regulations. Liberal writers like Popper and Bell use ideology in the negative sense also. These views were proposed and advanced by a host of giants in the fields of philosophy, economics, and science -- among them Francis Bacon, Rene Descartes, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, the Baron de Montesquieu, David Hume, Joseph Butler, Denis Diderot, and Adam Smith.

For the most part, classical conservatism has faded. Every government must be able to repel an invasion by… a foreign power. Althusser also proffered the concept of the Ideological State Apparatus to explain his theory of ideology. Socialism is divided into Marxism and Social Democracy and Conservatism is divided into New Right and Traditional Conservative. Thatcherism itself was a set of ideologies set up by Margaret Thatcher during her time as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1991.

This tempering of extremes has worked the other way around as well – plans for the Liberal Democrat’s “mansion tax” are being shelved, along with their opposition to a renewal of Trident, and their “amnesty” for illegal asylum seekers. Liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.

Conservatives, therefore, are suspicious of any social, economic, or political changes in the name of innovation or perfectibility. Liberals are in favour of a pluralist system in which differing political and social views, even extreme or fringe views, compete for political power on a democratic basis and have the opportunity to achieve power through periodically held elections. Republicans, meanwhile, generally believe that the less government is involved with business, the more businesses can create jobs and thus reduce the need for social programs, which they say generate too much debt.

This dichotomous assessment was easily identifiable by others as well as by one’s self. Conservatives seem to face the opposite problem. In a limited sense, both stories have merit. Conservative ideology has been deeply tied to a vision of the French Revolution as the exemplar of the kind of deliberate political change that disrupts the slow-moving evolution of "natural" social forces. LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. To conservatives, liberal positions seem outrageously immoral or just plain foolish.
