On Political Labels

Liberalism strives for the equality of man and that the government is a force for positive change in society. They believe that government should limit the freedom of businesses when original freedoms are at stake.

Libertarians believe in a limited government but find it difficult to accept the exceptions the government makes when they limit freedoms to uphold traditional values. Libertarians would probably agree with conservatives on low taxes and less government programs but disagree with policies that could limit individual rights. However libertarians and liberals believe in free expression.

Conservatives believe in limited role of government except when individual practices might threaten traditional values. They want to end homosexuality and abortion. For conservatives the government is seen as a problem.
