Of course you are right, but for the purposes of this thread, let's go with the definition of 'liberalism' and, as necessary 'conservatism' as it is most usually understood and defined in modern day America.
Well, in that case, I would be tempted to respond to this sentence in the article "You judge political movements not by their manifestos but by where they put their passion" by noting that what is even more central to the issue is that ideas are not judged by the actual merit of the idea, but only by who is presenting it.
Which also explains the death of actual liberalism.
