What's funny is you're ignoring hundreds of years of conservatives self identifying as such, and you think your pissant opinion on whether they were "real" conservatives means anything. "No true Scotsman" and all that, though I'm sure understanding that logical fallacy will be simple for an intellectual heavy weight like you lol.

The term "liberal" was coined in the 18th Century, with its counterpart being "conservative". Feel free to keep spouting nonsense, son.

Son, I know you think you're tough, but even fags would laugh at you. And, because you're an idiot, I found a quote where Lincoln mentioned conservatism for you. Took about 5 seconds.

The chief and real purpose of the Republican party is eminently conservative. It proposes nothing save and except to restore this government to its original tone in regard to this element of slavery, and there to maintain it, looking for no further change in reference to it than that which the original framers of the Government themselves expected and looked forward to.

As I said, the terms liberal and conservative have been around since the 18th century.
