CARING FOR OTHERS IS LIBERAL?

By definition, I am a conservative, but not totally. None of us fit into the pigeon holes exactly. I believe in conserving, I believe in sticking to budgets, I believe in pay as you go, and this means paying the necessary taxes too. I could never understand the philosophy of cutting taxes, not matched by cutting expenditures. As far as I can see, it never worked; all we did was go into debt. But I was brought up on the commandments of "Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick", as all of you who read the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Koran, and I am sure any volume of the world's religions, were also commanded. Following these principles are what make living in a society possible, along with not murdering, or stealing, and so forth. It is our OBLIGATION. It does not make us "liberal", and not being charitable and caring for your fellow man, because you are not willing to spend the money for that, does not make you conservative. It just means you don't follow the words you probably give lip service to every time you "preach and pray". So why are we labeling those who follow waht everyone preaches "Liberal"? You can be very "Conservative", keep budgets balanced, have a business positive attitude, and stIll perform your obligations to your fellow man, caught in a less fortunate position.
