New How it differs
And how does that differ from a typical "liberal"

While in theory Libers work to increase freedom, liberty and justice, in practice they are more likely to be working to get their own posistions of power, privilage and wealth.

Not to say I think Liberals and Conservatives are perfect mirrors. I think that, in broad generalities, more liberals are honestly trying to do what is right, while more conservatives are cynically or unthinkingly trying to maintain their priviliges. However, more liberals are blind to what the real consequences of their actions are, and are therefore more likely to mess things up.

New Amazing truths
I'm still blinking at your insights.

Liberals (so-called) do tend to act on "good intentions" or at least what sounds like good intentions. "It's for the children!" (gag)

Conservatives at least tend more to try to figure out what the results are.

But as I've said before, "liberal" and "conservative" isn't a good description of the political spectrum. Classical liberalism isn't today's liberalism; classical conservatism isn't today's conservatism.

New The real diff between modern "liberals" and "conservatives"
"Liberals" want to give us absolute freedom in some areas, and overweening government control or PC coercion in other areas.

With the "conservatives" it's the other way around.

Truth is that which is the case. Accept no substitutes.
New Exactly.
"Conservatives", or at least the beast that passes for conservative in this country want to give us overweening government control or anti-PC coersion in some areas, and absolute freedom in other areas.
