It's a lost cause. They words have been redefined so much even the pedes here rarely understand this anymore.

Yup. The true political spectrum is Anarchism on the far right, and Totalitarianism on the far left.

"Conservative" & "liberal" are meaningless- used to control thinking.

Conservative should mean "Conserving the status quo" or "Restrained policy with the most limited changes if shown to be necessary" which we certainly don't want to do anymore.

And Liberal is supposed to mean "pro liberty and freedom", which isn't actually an opposite to conservatism in anyway, and does not in any way describe the 'left' of today. Even the 'left' understood this at one point creating the term "Progressives," which from their point of view means "Change everything for the sake of changing it" or "Leave nothing as it was."

It's so messed up at this point we need to burn it all down and start over.

That's why I consider myself a Fundamentalist. I believe in the Biblical principles the Constitution was founded on, and would like to change America back to the way it was a century ago. I will become a "conservative" if that is ever achieved.

I just think that the government should be the LAST possible solution to any problem. How many private companies have killed millions of people? I can’t really think of any, but would be happy to be exposed to one. How many governments? Scores.

Nah. Its interesting bc the word is conservation but what we were conserving is/was a revolution. It's very interesting to look deep into.

Nope! Both on the Left. Don't give a statement credibility just because the person is saying it on .WIN
