In this sense, to be a conservative in America is to be misunderstood. Seeking to conserve our radical founding principles is linguistically confusing. In the same way, to be liberal in America today is philosophically tangled -- they seek to liberalize America by imposing more stringent controls and regulations upon her citizens?

This is what I love about blatant and unapologetic partisans. The complexity of the political landscape of today means that you can swap the terms and it makes just as much sense.

That is a truth. I am in the habit of posting identical threads on Liberal and Conservative forums. The Liberal call me a conservative and the Conservatives call me a Liberal. Their rants are often read equally well with the proper nouns reversed. Oh the irony. Imagine trying to drive a car that only steered 100% left or 100% right.

I don't blame you; it wasn't an unentertaining read.
