Google's quote du jour is ""A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment." -- Willis Player
so what is a conservative? Jim Devine
-----------------
What is a conservative? Rather than define a conservative, I would rather describe my ideal conservative.
A conservative is a body in the street with a large caliber bullet through the base of the skull.
A far right conservative is a body in the street with a large caliber bullet through the base of the skull, that has been doused with petrol and set on fire.
A rightwing Christian conservative is a body in the street with a large caliber bullet through the base of the skull, doused in petrol, set on fire, that has been stripped of its clothes and been mutilated in the groin area (en vivo).
An elected conservative is any of the above that has been tied to a steel frame folding chair and given a Haitian necktie without the bullet.
