== Differences between liberals and democrats ==
These should not be included because these do not describe liberalism in and of itself, it describes typical opinions of American democrats. Liberalism is the opposite of some of these things because liberalism is a ideology that mean belief in personal liberty and belief in a social market. These are all actually conservative by definition.
 
'''Censorship of teacher-lead prayer in classrooms and school sponsored events''' (liberals believe in the freedom of speech and religion. This confusion is caused by democrats belief in the seperation of church and state clause)
'''Support for gun control''' (Liberals believe in maximim personal liberty)
5. Using the term liberal and conervative is misleading. Conservative thought historically believes that human beings are unable to govern themselves and must have a strong ruler. Liberal thought is responsible for the American State as a whole. Assuming the Bible is concrete fact is a mistake. Since the bible is translated the only way to insure that it has not been corrupted would be to read it in the original language. Most conservatives are also economic liberals making these terms too broad to describe the political thought in this article.
* Some argue that liberals typically support economic policy similar to that of fascism. [7]
* Liberals claimed a monopoly on compassion, decency, and social justice (as defined by themselves), posing as the sole defenders of civic virtue against a horde of backwoodsmen, racists, and religious fanatics. [4]
mean the same thing. Please remove one of it.--[[User:JoeyJ|JoeyJ]] 11:01, 9 December 2013 (EST)
 
== Hilary Clinton saying she "believes in white supremacy" ==
 
Here's the entire quote:
 
{{cquote|"First family that comes and says 'I want to send my daughter to St. Peter's Roman Catholic School' and you say 'Great, wonderful school, here's your voucher,'" Mrs. Clinton said, according to the Long Island newspaper. "Next parent that comes and says, 'I want to send my child to the school of the Church of the White Supremacist ...' The parent says, 'The way that I read Genesis, Cain was marked, therefore I believe in white supremacy. ...You gave it to a Catholic parent, you gave it to a Jewish parent, under the Constitution, you can't discriminate against me.'" The senator added, "So what if the next parent comes and says, 'I want to send my child to the School of the Jihad?' ... I won't stand for it."}} [http://www.nysun.com/editorials/hillary-on-the-defensive/28068/ source]
 
Obviously, Mrs. Clinton was not expressing her own views on white supremacy, but outlining a thought experiment. To say otherwise is quote-mining, and makes me wonder about the good faith of the editor involved. [[User:SaulJ|SaulJ]] 13:22, 8 July 2015 (EDT)
::Here's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su3JIS9VbtY|video]]. She quite clearly isn't talking about her own views. [[User:JohnSelway|JohnSelway]] 20:56, 9 July 2015 (EDT)
It's not going into the article. She is not advocating white supremacy. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 22:01, 9 July 2015 (EDT)
