How do you define a "Conservative"?

14. I'm encouraging people not to use the "c" word in any favorable context.

It doesn't mean adhering to tradition and resisting change anymore. They are the ones who want to dramatically change our society.

It certainly doesn't mean fiscally responsible. To them, tax cuts are sarcocanct - to hell with the deficit it it means rich people might have to pay more.

Today, "conservative" has come to mean economic royalist in the U.S. The only constant among those who call themselves conservative is the desire to promote policies that favor the rich and powerful, often, but not always, at the expense of everyone else.
