Do you buy the socialist George Lakoff's framework? He's all about framing, doncha know. If you buy into his framing, you will reach the exact conclusion he wants you to.

There are far more than two dimensions in the mapping of political ideologies.

Can you show me a specific problem with the definitions?

I must also add, it makes sense that the following definitions would be in different systems:
--------------------
Moral Conservatism is the variation of Conservatism that emphasizes Conformance over Independence. People in this category will tend to have stronger opinions about enforcing the moral order (religious conformance, strict family values, lesser freedom of expression, stricter laws...) than about favoring individual initiatives (lower taxes, less corporate and environmental regulations, ...). This variation overlaps with these ideologies: 1. Fundamentalism 2. PaleoConservatism 3. Capital Republicanism
-------------------
Moral Liberalism is the variation of Liberalism that emphasizes NonConformance over Independence. People in this category will tend to have stronger opinions about loosening the moral order (gay rights, ecology, drug legalization,...) than about favoring individual initiatives (lower taxes, less corporate and environmental regulations, ...). This variation overlaps with these ideologies: 1. Libertarian_Capitalism 2. Progressivism 3. Capital Democratism 4. Progressive NeoLiberalism

Exactly. This thread has been begging for that observation. Thank you.
