Subject: RE: BS: Obit: The Republican Party
Right, Jerry. And "conservative" means

1. Favoring traditional views and values...2. Traditional or restrained in style: a conservative dark suit. 3. Moderate; cautious: a conservative estimate... 7. Tending to conserve; preservative: the conservative use of natural resources.

In many ways we are all conservatives, if in no other way that conserving traditional music and song.

There is nothing wrong with taking a cautious approach to change. Many times it's a good idea, in fact. I wish the current government in the US actually WAS conservative.
