"If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his."

There is a bit of a translation problem here, from American to Australian. The 'liberal' referred to is what we call labor. What we call labor, the Americans call liberal. What we call liberal they call conservative.
