That really is the question isn't it.
About a hundred years ago GK Chesterton had the following definition for Liberals and Conservatives:
Liberals: "Make new mistakes"
Conservatives: "Preserve old mistakes"
There is a ring of truth to that.
Bull. That smacks of moderate, truth lies somewhere in between, "cycle-of-violence", understand the enemy garbage.
I propose the following definition:
Liberals: "Destroy our way of life"
Conservatives: "Preserve our way of life"
