and all of the political signs were "conservative" none were Republican. I think that the Right Wing Radicals want to be called conservative, so let's just call them "Conservative Extremists" or something like that. They want the name, let them have it. Maybe Republican can go back to meaning pro business, lowering the deficit, instead of the death party. Let "conservative" mean the death party.
