On conservatives and liberals
Pundits pithily and wittily describe the difference between a liberal and a conservative. “A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested.” “Liberals don’t believe they deserve anything they own. Conservatives think they’re entitled to everything they’ve stolen.” Or as Marvin Gottlieb of the Dayton Daily News puts it, “a liberal is someone who frets that somewhere, somehow, somebody is getting screwed. A conservative is a person who frets that somewhere, somehow, somebody is getting something for nothing.” British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli once remarked, “A Conservative government is an organized hypocrisy” while poet Robert Frost described a liberal as a man so broadminded he wouldn’t take his own side in an argument.
