No such thing as being conservative or being a conservative.
There are only people more conservative than others. And more liberal than others. There are no conservatives. And no liberals.
That’s not true owen (where as there is the truth that you point out that people’s beliefs can change): One’s beliefs does make one a liberal or a conservative, and if you support liberalism you probably can be considered a liberal to those whom do not!
The Republicans do not demonstrate ‘much’ conservatism compared to conservatives of yesterday therefore I may consider them liberal for letting their beliefs slide (while I will continue to run right).
