Hello and welcome to Liberal-Truths.com
Every week, from January 2, 2012 through November 5, 2012, a single entry will be posted with a little known truth about Conservatives and comparing it against that same truth about Liberals. These postings will reference published statistics and reports.
The basis of determining who is a Conservative and who is a Liberal is determined in a couple of ways. If it is a President being discussed then the Republican President will be listed as Conservative and the Democratic President will be listed as Liberal. If it is a State being discussed then the label is chosen by the way that State voted in the 2008 Presidential Election, with the Conservative States being those that voted Republican and the Liberal States being those that voted Democratic. We know that this is a over-simplification and that there are many Liberals in Conservative States and many Conservatives in Liberal States, but this is the simplest and most common way to determine a State’s overall political leanings.
For the purposes of this site, here is a breakdown of the Conservative States and the Liberal States:
