Actually "conservative" has become the term to offset the diversionary term of "progressive".. touted and spread by liberals/leftists.. "They" being progressive and the other side being conservative.. and the so-called conservatives are allowing the liberals to control the conversation by controlling the words..

THATS what is happeneing.. and republicans and other "conservatives" are pretty much clueless as to this gambit.. and allow it.. and even champion the term as correct.. When it is NOT CORRECT.. Also; conservative translates into being/meaning "same old, same old".. Conservative are FOR, it is reported, same old same old NOT progress.. By the way leftists are neither progressive or democratic.. historically and actually..

A "trick" is being played on "conservatives" and they are CLUELESS.. eye rolling, drooling, clueless.. So-called "conservatives" need to DEFINE THEMSELVES.. by coming up with another word to describe themselves... Conservative... simply WILL NOT DO.. I suggest a symposium on BOTH WORDS.. to UNmask them..

coming up with another word

Another word, or take a minute or two to explain "conservative", as is being done in these first posts.

If there is going to be "Another Word", can we get it in a day or two?

"conservative progressive", or "progressive conservative"?

How about "conservative liberal" - if they want to change some laws, or change something in society, - work for the change, but don't tamper with the foundations of the Constitution; except by amendment or convention.
