| Kantor said: I agree completely, and that's why I dislike the use of the word "conservative". It doesn't mean "conservative" at all: trying to constitutionally ban gay marriage, overturn all gun control legislation and prohibit abortion are not conservative, they are positively radical. The political argument in Washington is between right-wing statists and left-wing statists, with the occasional libertarian (Kucinich on the left, Amash on the right) thrown in. |
In contrast to what is said is "liberal" those ARE Conservative policies. Yes, they are more radical, but they fit the motiff of trying to preserve the pass than welcoming change. It certainly isn't Libertarian for the most part (well outside of gun control side). Is it more radical? Yes it is. But is conservative, as opposed to liberal.
