Unfortunately the word "conservative" will one day be corrupted as the word "liberal" has been today A hundred years ago I would be considered a classic liberal, which was a good thing.

Someone once said that you can go from being liberal to a conservative in 20 years without changing a single idea.

I guess this means the Jimmy Carter liberals of 1979 are todays conservatives. That would explain the combination of evangelical Christianity and socialism that seems to pass for "conservatism" here at times.
