I’m not a republican, I’m a conservative.

You know, after some thinking I'm inclined to think that conservative and liberal are useless descriptors:

  1. The liberal thinks conservative means you want to keep things the same; which is a valid definition.
  2. The conservative thinks conservative means you adhere to traditional values; also a valid definition.
  3. The liberal thinks liberal means, essentially, favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties; a valid definition.
  4. The conservative thinks liberal means noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform; also valid.
