a conservative.

If anything, you are a moderate liberal, or a RINO, like I said before.

When it comes to being a conservative, yes, there should be a very narrow definition of what it means, otherwise, the definition can be bastardized and before long, even progressives will be deemed conservatives.

Your definition of conservative is more closely related to a moderate democrat in the U.S,, or a moderate republican, which is the same as a RINO in the U.S.

And, one doesn't have to go to a university to learn about politics or about the definitions of different political ideologies. Life's lessons can be better and more thorough teachers, if one bothers to pay attention.

BTW, I asked you a question about Senator McCarthy, who was a conservative, and you didn't even acknowledge the question. So, do tell me about McCarthy. What did he do or say that wasn't true?
