Liberalism and Conservatism in Four Words

On Twitter, someone started the hashtag #LiberalismIn4Words where we made fun of liberals, and it quickly became a worldwide trending topic. Liberals tried to start a #ConservatismIn4Words hashtag, but then conservatives took that over and dominated it with positive stuff. For some reason, conservatives have been dominating Twitter, overtaking any hashtags Democrats or the left try to use. My guess is the reason conservatives are so dominant on Twitter is that it’s a medium that allows people with little free time to participate — and conservatives are much more funny and clever than liberals; they just don’t have as much free time.

Anyway, here were my entries.

LIBERALISM IN FOUR WORDS

* Want freedom, not responsibility.

CONSERVATISM IN FOUR WORDS

* Caring don’t pay bills.

* Whining never solves anything.

* Public servants, not rulers.
