In [[Brazil]], ''[[liberal]]'' refers to ''[[classical liberal]]'' and ''[[libertarian]]''. But here i'm referring to the american term that refers to the [[left-wing politics]]. Out of curiosity, after making the [[#My conservatism|above list]], i decided to do the same with the "[[liberal]]" page, the result is:
* <s>Spending money on government programs</s>
* <s>Denial of science (especially [[creation science]])</s>
* <s>Government's ability to solve economic problems</s>
* <s>The belief that terrorism is not a huge threat, and that the main reason for Muslim extremists' hostility towards America is because of bad foreign policy</s> - Indeed, it is a foreign policy that will solve this problem.
* <s>Brainwashing voters with propaganda</s>
* <s>Taxpayer-funded and/or legalized [[abortion]]</s> - Even though the above list
* <s>Censorship</s>
* <s>Socialism</s>
* <s>Unsuccessful Keynesian economics as opposed to sound free market economics</s>
* <s>Cessation of teacher-led [[prayer]] in classrooms and school/state-sponsored religious events</s> - Even though the above list
* <s>[[Gun control]]</s>
* <s>[[Elitism]]</s>
* <s>Pseudo-intellectualism</s>
* <s>Affirmative action</s>
* Opposition to government regulation or restriction of <s>obscenity, pornography</s> and violence in video games as a [[First Amendment]] right - The regulation of the video game industry is something just ridiculous.
* <s>Authoritarian government</s>
* Government-funded medical care, <s>such as [[Obamacare]]</s> - Even though the above list
* [[evolution and liberalism|Belief in evolution]] - Theistic evolution
* <s>Destroying the Christian foundations on which America was built on.</s>
* <s>Taxpayer-funded and government-controlled [[public education]]</s>
* <s>Limiting personal freedom</s>
* <s>High progressive taxes, as a form of class warfare against wealthy business owners</s>
* Placement of men and women in the same jobs in the [[military]] - I see no problem with that
* <s>Slowly eroding the U.S. through [[Progressivism]].</s>
* Legalized [[same-sex marriage|same-sex "marriage"]] <s>and homosexual adoption</s> - No opinion yet formed on homosexual adoption
* <s>[[Tax and spend]] economics</s>
* <s>Libertine sexual morality.</s>
* <s>Economic sector regulations</s>
* <s>Denial of conservative roles in history.</s> For example, liberals frequently claim<ref>[http://www.deism.com/washington.htm George Washington and Deism]</ref> that George Washington was a deist when he was actually a devout Episcopalian. - Deism is not against conservatism
* <s>Spreading of [[political correctness]]</s>
*<s> Government mass-surveillance</s>
* Non-syndicalist <s>[[labor union|labor unions]]</s> - Whether it's Syndicalist or non-Syndicalist, I say NO
* <s>Encouraging promiscuity through sexual education (the teaching of safe sex) rather than teaching [[abstinence]] from premarital sex</s>
* <s>A "[[living Constitution]]" that is reinterpreted as liberals prefer, rather than how it is thought to have been intended.</s>
* Government programs to [[rehabilitate criminals]] - It depends, I believe that there should be rehabilitation, but in prison. I believe that prisoners should have to work in prison to be right to food, hygiene and comfort.
* Gender Equality - Equal Rights yes, but not the feminist totalitarianism
* <s>Bestiality as a human right</s> - I'm against not because of religion but because it [[rape]], the animal cann't consent.
* <s>Abolition of the [[death penalty]]</s>
* <s>[[Environmentalism]]</s> - I'm a supporter of [[green conservatism]] and eco-capitalism, i believe people should be aware to not pollute the planet, but i'm totally opposed of government authoritarian laws against companies.
* <s>[[Globalism]]</s> - Depends on the meaning of the term, i'mm against what the article "[[globalism]]" declares that's globalism, but i'm a strong advocate of [[globalization]].
* Constitutionally mandated separation of church and state.
* <s>Opposition to full private property rights.</s>
* <s>Reinstatement of the [[Fairness Doctrine]]</s>
* <s>Welfare</s>
* Opposition to domestic wire-tapping as authorized in the [[Patriot Act]]
* <s>Regulation of business rather than a laissez-faire capitalist economy</s>
* <s>Opposition to the Constitution. Liberals seek to expand federal power at the expense of local government and silence the conservatives who hold them back, violating the 10th and 1st Amendments respectively.</s>
* <s>[[Liberal Denial|Denial]] of traditional [[gender roles]]</s> - I don't deny gender roles, but i believe it shouldn't be imposed.
* <s>Support of financially irresponsible policies</s>
* <s>Encouragement of [[Global Warming|global warming alarmism]]</s>
* <s>Rejection of logical</s>
We can see that i support a few itens of the [[liberal agenda]], but not enough to be considered a [[moderate]], because i support almost all items of the [[conservative agenda]], except some, and i'm against almost every item of the [[liberal agenda]], supporting some. Therefore, i define myself as a [[liberal conservatism|liberal conservative]].
