 What Does It Mean to Be Liberal? Conservative? Moderate? Page By: Kennedy O'Shea, Matt Kolanek and Ashley Hontz

Liberal is another word for Democratic. Liberals believe that all people are equal. Conservative is another word for Republican. Conservatives are traditional, meaning they like to do things the old way. If you are a full liberal, you believe in every single one of the things stated in blue, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. You completely and totally agree with every single one of these statements, and your mind will not be changed. If you do, you are on the far left side of the political spectrum. If you are a full conservative, you believe in every single one of the things stated in red, no ifs, ands, or buts about that. If you are this way, you are on the far right side of the political spectrum.

If you are a moderate you believe in things that both sides believe. It is a combination of the beliefs of conservatives, and liberals. For example, if you believe that suicide should be legal, but you also think that Global Warming is not a problem you will be considered moderate. There are three types of moderate. The first is Moderate-Conservative, Thats when you have mostly the beliefs of a conservative, but some liberal beliefs. The second is Moderate-Liberal, thats when you have mostly beliefs of a liberal, but still some conservative beliefs. The third kind of Moderate, is just moderate. This means that you are split exactly down the middle, you believe exactly half of the platforms on either side.

Liberals and conservatives are really big and opinionated. Moderates are in the middle and have a very small voice in politics. Provided by Google Images.
