This is an interesting implicit assumption to notice.

The gang that goes around calling itself liberal today, so sadly often isn’t liberal. It’s greedy. For control.

At the same time, there is much about America’s past Christian culture that present day conservatives are not conserving.

“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”

---Robert A. Heinlein
