It's not old school. It is conservative.

Somehow, that word has come to mean "giving the government as much power as they want to 'protect' me from the dreaded terrorists - and agreeing with every pronouncement the government makes about their need for yet another expansion of power." I guess there are a lot of words that could be applied to that approach, but 'conservative' ain't one of them.

No, no, no.

It only means that when Republicans are in charge.
