It sure is on FR. Here it means whatever anyone wants it to mean.
The left and the right are broad spectrums of many different degrees of lunacy. I am not an EXTREME Right Winger but I am way right of center. I am a Christian, a gun owner, I support the constitution, I'm a patriot, I favor smaller government, tighter borders, personal responsiblity, etc. Yet Pat Buchannan (sp) irritates the crap out of me, but I like Zell Miller.
Do these nuances prevent me from calling myself a conservative? I'm certainly not a liberal.
