Re:Conservatism, Liberalism, and Censorware (Score 1)

gilroy makes a good semantic point, and then wants to avoid turning this "into a liberal-v.-conservative thing." 2 observations & I'm outta here:

- Are Democrats liberal? Or do they cling to notions of rebellion, peace, love, etc. On the flip side, are Republicans conservative? Or do they cling to an outdated imperialist dogma???

- If these parties correspond to these labels, what do they mean, anyway? Check out the list below, and while I haven't checked on its veracity, it sounds close.
