after the recent "political earthquake" caused by jeffords leaving the GOP, i've been thinking about what it means to be a liberal, or a conservative, and somehow, this has led me to do some spiralling...

LIBERAL

LIE
LIAR
LABEL, LIAR
BE REAL
BARE
BEAR LAIR
BE ABLE
BILE
BAIL

now.. this doesn't necessarily mean that all liberals are liars, etc.. but it does expose some points...

being liberal.. if taken too far.. can sometimes mean being a liar.. can sometimes mean that one has to lie.. and as many people know.. liberals are often labeled as liars, and are told often to "be real".. to be liberal sometimes means to be bare, to go inside the bear's lair.. and be able to withdraw the bile.. but all too often, liberals require bail to get out of rough situations.. (feel free to have your own interpretation).

CONSERVATIVE

SEVER NERVE
NO NERVE
NO NATIVES, OR SAVE NATIVES
CON NATIVES, OR NO CON NATIVES
NATIVE SON
VAST COST
SAVE NATIVES
RESTIVE, OR NOT RESTIVE
SAVE TREES, OR NOT SAVE TREES
VENT
SAVE COST
SERVE TONS
NO TONE, NO NOTE
ACTIVE, OR NOT ACTIVE

now.. as i stop this list.. my mind is still working on this enlightening spiral.. but i decided to cut it short.. just to give a brief summary (feel free to add on, people!)

conservatives.. sometimes they sever nerves to get ahead.. sometimes they have no nerve to do what they want to do.. i dont know if this is restricted to conservatives alone, but im getting a strong vibe of a history with natives.. either they saved the natives, or they did not.. either they conned natives or they did not.. some of them are probably native sons.. and often they risk vast cost.. whether this is for good (save trees, not save trees, etc.) is up in the air.. im getting a sense of no tone, or no notes.. (which in my mind, means no music.. let me know if this is wrong..) there is a tendency to save cost in order to serve tons (eg. cutting taxes maybe??).. some are active, and some are not so active..

there are probably many more interpretations for these two words! i'm rather tired now.. so i will stop here.. please feel free to continue..

all view points welcome..
