Conservative versus liberal (I will have conservative view)

Conservatism is the disposition to preserve or restore what is established and traditional and to limit change. The opposite of Conservative is Liberal which are favorable to progress or reform. Many debates come about when discussing which one of these points of views would help us better grow as a country after all it has been said many times "We all want the same things in life. We want freedom; we want the chance for prosperity; we want as few people suffering as possible; we want healthy children; we want to have crime-free streets. The argument is how to achieve them…" In this debate I will argue that conservatism is the stronger and more reliable way of acheiving the goals mentioned above. Conservatism is often linked to christian or bible beliefs. I believe the reason for this is because many of the beliefs under conservatism match the ones in the Christian Bible. This, however, does not mean that every Conservative is Christian or religious for that matter as some liberals are christians too and some conservatives are athiest. Next, I will address a few of the issues liberals and conservatives most often disagree on. 1. Abortion This is one thing liberals and conservatives go at about constantly. Liberals believe that a woman has the right to her on body while Conservatives believe that whatever the case, a precious life should not be murdered. I honestly think that whether your liberal or conservative, democrat or republican, black or white, male or female, old or young, whatever the case murder of an innocent child should not be justified. 2. Gay marriage Liberals often air on the side that we are a free people and we should have the right to marry who we want as long as it does not infringe on another human beings right. Conservatives argue that gay marriage is immoral and does in fact infringe on somebody's rights (the children as they deserve a mother and a father). America has been telling children that homosexuality is wrong since day one. Do you not think that if we start changing what we stand for that it is just going to start causing confusion and rebelion? I understand if someone really wants to get married then that is fine but marriage is not what they want. What it really is is societal acceptance. Ex. The netherlands is the most liberal country in the world and they were the first ones to legalize gay marriage. Of the whole gay community, 96% of them did not get married after it was legalized. Of the 4% that did, the average time that they stayed together was 1 1/2 years. What they were looking for was not marriage. It was acceptance of the country. It's dangerous to start changing wrong and right just because people want to be accepted. (which would b fine if the act was not unjust.) 3. Taxes and Government Liberals are usually on the side of larger taxes and larger government while Conservatives are typically for smaller government and smaller taxes. I obviously feel that conservatives have the more legitimate argument because we all want the chance as well as for our children to have the chance at the American Dream. I don't see how allowing the government to have accessive access to our money will prove that what we work for is ours and ours alone. I understand that taxes are necassary for a steady running economy but does it not only make sence that what we work for should be ours? These are just 3 of the many issues conservatives and liberals disagree on. There are many more such as Affirmative Action, Gun control, Social Security, Health Care, Immigration, Welfare, and much more (feel free to elaborate on any of them.) IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please remember this round is only for stating your side and reasons for your argument. The next round will be left for rebuttals. This way we can both get a clear view on where both of us stand. Thank You!
