The labels just don't cover all the possibilities...there is Social conservatism, fiscal conservatism, political conservatism, moral conservatism....etc...it is when someone is blindly ALL of these at once that it gets scary!

to me, the type of 'conservatism' that involves one group imposing rules, morés, religious restrictions, etc., on others, is to be feared.

I suspect that you are liberal as all-get-out on some issues...*grin*

...me? now that I see George Bush saying that he is going right ahead with trying to get a tax cut which will mostly help the wealthy classes, I KNOW what I can point to as 'conservatism' that rubs my sensibilities raw!
