Justin Trudeau is stepping down as his party's leader. The leader of the Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, said,"'Canadians can take back control of their lives and their country,' he said in a video post on X. 'Take back control of our border. Take back control of immigration. Take back...

This thread didn't necessarily have to go in this sub-forum, but since this article is partly about the current campaign, I decided to put it here. I ran across this defense of liberal guilt by Ron Rosenbaum in Slate. What do you think? Some highlights:

This is a series of threads about whether religions are *useful*. Is liberal christianty: * good for its believers? * good for their families? * good for the world? Take a utilitarian view please.

With congressional and gubanatorial elections coming up in 2006, I am beginning to see the first wave of campaign ads in my neck of the woods. The way these idiots throw around the terms liberal and conservative convince me more and more that the term has lost all meaning and each has just...

I've heard a number of people giving themselves this title. My question is, what the hell is a fiscal liberal? Do you just give all your money to the poor or what? :confused:

...a conservative religious skeptic. See his comment today at http://www.pvponline.com :clap: :clap: :clap:

In the United States, the Democratic Party is generally considered "liberal" while the Republicans are generally "conservative". These two words are often used as if they were opposites, but are they? I like to think of myself as liberal, but I frequently find myself on the opposite side of...

It could be yours, if the price is right!

According to a study done at UCLA, there is a definite, though moderate, liberal bias in the press. http://www.newsroom.ucla.edu/page.asp?RelNum=6664 Excerpt: I'm not sure I entirely buy their methodology; but I don't know enough about it to say for sure where the flaws are.

So, recently I have been testing the waters of so-called "liberal" talk radio here in America. I finally found the Air America affiliate in my town and tuned in to get the intellectual and honest look at the issues that firebrands and bombthrowers on the right don't have. My biggest problem is...

My son, Chris, and I were talking this morning about a number of political issues that we usually discuss. Among these were Bush's Social Security plan, (which I don't think is going to work, because for one thing, people don't understand that an investment is used to maintain value, not...

There are two kinds of tyranny in the world: power over other people's minds, and power over other people's bodies. The first type always precedes the second type: using fear and hatred, the tyrant coerces the citizenry into believing the horrors they inflict upon their enemies are justified...

I see that despite happening every year, Easter is considered newsworthy enough to inspire a news story on Jesus. Has a year ever gone by without Newsweek having a cover story on Jesus? While things that have even the slightest possibility of being false, such as Michael Jackson molesting...

So I have a great sympathy for both liberals and libertarians. The question I have is which group do I most closely resemble? Let me start by saying where I stand. Here's my "manefesto", here's what I think: I consider myself to be a liberal, an "Al Franken" liberal. I listen to Air America...

I didn't start really paying attention to politics until the last couple of years. I didn't really have a good handle on what liberals and conservatives were or what they represented, and I still don't, but here are some observations I've made. Let me know if you think they are accurate...

Did you know that 'liberal' New Englanders and Californians rank the highest in incomes, and lowest in charitable giving? I suppose it's not something they would want anyone to hear. http://www.catalogueforphilanthropy.org/cfp/db/generosity.php?year=2004 Technical Notes for 2004 Generosity...

http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/11/news/newsmakers/sinclair_kerry/index.htm?cnn=yes Between Sinclair, Clear Channel, Fox News, Limbaugh, Hannity, Boortz, and the rest of the "talk radio" types, it amazes me that people still go on about a "liberal media" with a straight face.

http://www.rightwingeye.com/ I thought it was funny, but the ending is kinda lame.

Very funny! Story at yahoo At the bottom of the story it says that the ACLU is helping Rush! I have to wonder about Ashcroft wanting those abortion records.

These terms get thrown around a lot on this forum and in the media to the point where I lost track of these mean or suppose to mean. My question is really simple, who are liberals and who are conservatives in USA and how do you define one, is it action, and is it believes?

I consider myself a MOR liberal, and I guess that makes me a bomb throwing anarchist ! I ask the following, why have none of the democratic candidate come out in support of gay marriage? It really bothers me that all the dems are so scared of the issue! It makes me think that they are not...

My wife and I are attending a class at church about the origins and background of the Unitarian church. We've only been to one class so far, but it's been incredibly interesting (I'm used to these things being dead boring). Anyway, I've heard Unitarianism called a "liberal religion" before...
