Yes, something other than “Conservative.”

I'm sorry -- I thought you were disagreeing with the use of the word, "movement".

Here, I disagree.

Conservative is perfect.

Libs have run from the word L, instead of making it their own. I would prefer to staunchly define 'C' instead of running from it.

So I'm analyzing what "C" means to various people.

I've got nothing against the word "Conservative," any more then I do against the word "Liberal." You can be for example be a "Conservative liberal," they are not mutually exclusive. But, in the same sense that leftists are not real champions of liberty, and are thus not liberal; the rightists are not really conservative. "Conservative," and "Movement," are somewhat mutually exclusive. The whole point of being conservative is not to move, so talking about a "Conservative movement" is rather like talking about an “erratic stability” with say, an “obscure precision.”

So I'm analyzing what "C" means to various people.

To me it means something other than what it is currently being used for, and thus is no more applicable to the modern political party which claims it than is "Liberal" to the left, who are not in fact liberal.
