Conservative Versus Liberal

Which live represents LIBERALS?

When I was in college in the 1960's (1966-1970), I was as liberal as one could get with long hair, into a variety of illegal drugs, wearing mainly jeans and a t-shirt to my classes, and a leather jacket when cold and I had several professors lower my grades because I did not dress like a college student should dress although I never cared about proving my point-of-views back then.  I went to college in the Piedmont of NC and was surrounded by the campuses of Duke, UNC, Wake Forest, NC State and a variety of lesser known 4-year colleges like Elon College (the one I attended) which is now a University and ranks as one of the top schools in NC.

Students on the campus of Elon College were exposed to all sorts of FORUMS that included both liberal and conservative viewpoints and opinions...  In the 1990's when my daughter attended UNC, the conservative viewpoint and opinion was being over-shadowed by the liberal viewpoints and opinions...  this took only 3 decades to change and in 2010 and 2020, it has only gotten worse...  and, not only has it gotten worse, but if you have a different viewpoint, you are now my ENEMY and I don't want to have anything to do with do...  in public or in private.

There are 4 definitions of BEING LIBERAL:

1. willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
2. relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.
3. a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.
4. a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.
