Just a reminder: Free Republic is a conservative site.

No problem with that...But...The difficult part is the definition of "conservative".

Ask 50 people on this site to define the general meaning of the word and you will likely get 50 different answers.

....Webster:...in politics, a loosely defined term indicating adherence to one or more of a family of attitudes, including respect for tradition and authority and resistance to wholesale or sudden changes. I adhere to this...Can I still participate?

I was just looking up definitions of a conservative found this thread:
Thought I would post the best definition I have found:

“Men… are naturally divided into two parties. Those who fear and distrust the people… Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe … depository of the public interest.”
-Thomas Jefferson 1824
