I was merely pointing out how easy it is for people on the net to have a false view of what constitutes conservatism and liberalism. If we cannot agree on what the labels mean beforehand, we have no hope of applying the labels in the course of discussion. What has historically been called conservative is often far removed from the dog-eat-dog libertarianism that gets passed off as conservatism on the net.
