Difference between a liberal and a conservative

Much is made by the conservatives and particularly right wing conservatives that liberals love to "tax and spend". The hypocrisy in that statement is laughable. Just look at the fiscal records of the last two presidents and it's easy to see this argument is horseshit. Under Clinton we had a balanced budget and deficits were heading down. Now, let's talk a look at GW's record. Ewww, not pretty. The fiscal conservative that he is led to record budget deficits and sky rocketing national debts. Now a they'll be quick to point out our current president's budgets. Makes sense when you have to clean up the fucking mess he inherited.

So as it pertains to spending, what's the real difference between a liberal and a conservative? A conservative would rather spend our nation's treasury invading a country which had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. In the process thousands of American troops died during this escapade and tens of thousands more were injured. This is a good time to remind everyone that hundreds of thousands Iraqis were murdered as well. But to a conservative they don't matter. A conservative would rather spend our money on a drug war so stupid and costly ($52 billion a year) even a dmwit like Rush "Pass me the pain killers" Limbaugh should be able to see the waste. A conservative would rather spend our treasure on weapons systems designed for cold war opponents, especially if they're produced in their districts. So what would a liberal spend the same money on? How about education? Fixing a crumbling education system which each year falls further behind the rest of the world. A liberal would spend that money on health care. Ensuring Americans are provided a health care system which is efficient and affordable. We would build roads, fix the bridges, invest in green technology and in short save this country. That my friends is the difference between a liberal and a conservative.
