Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Okay, now please realize this isn't what others mean when they use the term " conservative " . Many simply mean a minimal use of government. Others mean strict adherence to the whimsical spew from Newt, Rush, & Karl Rove. Still others think it refers to fiscal hegemony and the gold standard. Some think it means being old-fashioned, or modest in one's expectations. It goes on, but the point's made. Slippery word indeed. Now, having seen what you mean by this, to the extent you're apparently willing to tell us, I wonder why you think we're fighting, or debating, or even disagreeing?
