Political definitions...and what they REALLY mean.
The less than loved Elephant and Donkey.
Politics say wha...?
The following are true definitions of political terms taken from the dictionary:
Republican - One who favors a republic as the best form of government.
Democrat - One who favors a republic as the best form of government.
Libertarian - a person who advocates liberty, esp. with regard to thought or conduct.
Independent - a person who votes for candidates, measures, etc., in accordance with his or her own judgment and without regard to the endorsement of, or the positions taken by, any party.
Liberal - a person of liberal principles or views, esp. in politics or religion.

Left-Wing - members of a liberal or radical political party, or those favoring extensive political reform.
Constitutionalists - an adherent or advocate of constitutionalism or of an existing constitution.
These definitions seem so simple and broad. Now, let me tell you what the REALLY mean. Though this is from the viewpoint of a Reagan Conservative, I will do my best to keep an open mind.
Republican - A person who believes in Conservative values but have been betrayed by the people currently leading them.
Democrat - An ass... literally... it's represented by a donkey. A democrat is just a liberal in disguise.
Libertarian - What we should ALL be. Not blurred by political parties. Libertarians stand for what is right for liberty and what is right for our country.
Independent - Usually a democrat who wants to vote in Republican primaries so the Republicans get the worst candidate possible.
Liberal - Psychopath. They want to change the constitution to fit their values. They believe in free rights for everyone... unless, you're a republican or a Christian.
Conservative - A person who wants life to be the way it was in the 1950's.
Right-Wing - Sometimes called "right-wing extremists." People who are 'right-wing' oppose everything a 'left-wing' person stands for.
Left-Wing - Nutcases who hate anyone who is not 'left-wing.'
Constitutionalists - takes the Constitution word-for-word. There is no room for movement. An ultra-Conservative, if you will.
