Exactly. Conservative means one thing to one person something different to another. Meaningless.

Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism

Actually, there is conservative by the generally accepted definition of being small central government, limited spending, strengthened state powers, more individual freedom vs. collectivism, an effective military not handcuffed by suicidal ROEs, and most importantly, adherence to our founding documents that acknowledges the citizens’ ability to govern themselves vs. being ruled.

Then there are the progressive, big government GOP politicians who use the term to get elected. Hell, even Skippy pretended to be the second coming of President Reagan a few times in his 2008 campaign. Made me sick.

PS - and of course, not being taxed to death to fund the federal leviathan.
