Crazy how the word conservative has been co-opted. ** -- KCHoo 12/10/2017 12:52PM
George Will: Like Reagan said (link) -- khilldrup 12/10/2017 1:33PM
Conservative has become the descriptor of choice for someone who votes GOP -- 111Balz 12/10/2017 1:13PM
I think the same about the word liberal. ** -- hoothat 12/10/2017 1:10PM
No doubt. Both words altered by the same group imo. ** -- KCHoo 12/10/2017 5:36PM
Possibly -- hoothat 12/10/2017 5:40PM
Yeah it's funny ... "liberal" in most of the world = small government -- CharlestonSC 12/10/2017 1:43PM
''Classical liberalism'' is what we now know as conservativism -- HokieDan95 12/10/2017 8:23PM
Hahahaha! The Bannonites and Falwellians controlling the Republican -- Shenhoo 12/10/2017 8:38PM
Whatever...link -- HokieDan95 12/10/2017 10:36PM
When has the word liberal ever been associated with “small government”? -- WahooRQ 12/10/2017 3:09PM
Most of the former British Empire & UK have a center-right "liberal party" ** -- CharlestonSC 12/10/2017 4:21PM
Wrong. The UK has the “Liberal Democrats” who are more or less -- WahooRQ 12/10/2017 4:51PM
They are in between labour and the conservatives. Probably more in line -- KCHoo 12/10/2017 5:30PM
Certainly not “small government” though, I don’t think. ** -- WahooRQ 12/10/2017 5:38PM
Definitely not. Liberal in the English speaking world almost -- KCHoo 12/10/2017 5:47PM
Conservative is prudent, deliberate, thoughtful, -- 111Balz 12/10/2017 6:33PM
In this day and age it has more just come to mean "reactionary" though. ** -- WahooRQ 12/11/2017 11:22AM
And nationalist, which is quite a change from old free market conservatives ** -- hoolstoptheheels 12/11/2017 1:13PM
Thanks Balz for the kind words :>) ** -- Tuckahokie 12/11/2017 06:37AM
Jefferson....Paine.... ** -- hoothat 12/10/2017 4:05PM
Probably referring to classical liberalism; i.e. Libertarianism. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 12/10/2017 3:24PM
