I cant tell you if your term conservative would apply. I am certainly much further on the right than you are. Not everyone on the right is a 'conservative.' Hell, by my reckoning, almost no one on the right actually fits the term well. It is irrelevant though as it is just another partisan hack tactic that partisans like to employ. What does that add to the conversation? What does it have to do with any point I have raised? What possible connection can my overall political philosophy have on the very basic and simple point. None whatsoever. But, as you NEEDED to declare my statements a lie, you had to cover it up with partisan trickery.
