I will just take your first statement---"I believe in science".
Gosh, I believe in science, too.
And I can take all of your statements apart for their incompleteness and superficiality. But I don't have the time.
See my new comment on this thread.
Carol, all you have said here is that you agree with liberals on one of the statements.
If there is a genuine difference between liberals and conservatives, that's what your thread is about.
I'll show what i think the differences are:
(liberal) I believe in science
(Conservative) I believe in the Bible which contradicts science.
(Lib)I believe corporations are businesses, not people
(Cons) I believe corporations should have the same voting rights as people
(Lib) I believe in equal rights, regardless of sexual orientation
(Cons) I believe sexual orientation and the rights accorded should be defined by the Bible.
(Lib) I believe that 47% of Americans arent looking for a government handout
(Cons) I believe welfare is a handout which is undeserved.
(Lib) I believe in climate change, not that God has decided to use weather to punish sin
(cons) I believe climate change is a hoax
(Lib) I believe we must learn from history, not repeat it
(Cons) I believe frequent wars are good for the economy

(Lib)I believe immigration is what has made this country great, not what will bring it down
(Cons) I believe immigrants are ruining this country--except for the ones who tend my yard and harvest my crops.
(Lib) I believe freedom for all means freedom for all
(Cons) I believe the more blacks and Hispanics we have in prison the more freedom there is for the rest of us.
(Lib) I believe we have the right to own guns, but our Second Amendment says well regulated for a reason
(Cons) I agree with Lib except for the "well regulated" part.
(Lib) I believe in a living wage I believe you dont create wealth by giving rich people more money
(Cons) I believe in keeping wages down so the wealthy can make more profit
(Lib) I believe welfare helps the poor, it doesnt punish the rich
(Cons) I believe that every dollar which goes to the poor comes out of my pocket.
(Lib) I believe health care is a right, not something for only those who can afford it
(Cons) I believe if you can't afford health care, you deserve to die
(Lib) I believe a woman has the right to choose what to do with her own body
(Cons) I believe it is up to men to make that decision for her.
(Lib) I believe a country is judged based on how they treat their poor, not their rich I believe there needs to be an economic threshold which we dont let Americans fall below
(Cons) Who cares how the poor get by? That's not my concern.
(Lib)I believe we are not entitled to Social Security and Medicare, we paid into these programswe earn these benefits
(Cons) SS and Medicare are "entitlements" and should be abolished.

(Cons) I believe if you're not born equal to me, that's just too bad.

(Cons) I believe military personnel are animals which should be used to serve the interests of Wall Street.
(Lib) I believe we all have the right to follow whichever religion we want, or no religion at all, and our government should represent no singular set of religious beliefs
(Cons) I believe church and state should merge.
(Lib) I believe our Constitution doesnt only protect the rights for which I agree, that it sometimes protects rights I disagree with
