There are probably better things to do this Holiday season than reading political mudcat threads but once you start, well you know how contagious this place is.
Please help me with this. What IS the definition of 'conservative'? I've always thought that in folkie terms a conservative is someone pretty Centrist, simply because so much of folk music has been part of the civil rights and labour movement.

When I see people here defending Trent Lott (who's allied himself with what appear to be White Power groups) I'm quite shocked. Has anyone looked at the wbsite of The Conservative Citizens Council? To my way of thinking this goes way beyond a mere Conservative ideology.

I hope the definition of 'conservative' isn't as wide reaching as the definition of 'folkmusic' but whatever. I suppose if anyone wants to throw in their definition of 'liberal' this might also be a good place to do it.
