  25.     This only goes to show that terms such as "left" and "right" are 
  26. relative.  Still, to exploit this fact is being disingenuous.  In the
  27. American political tradition, Breshnev and Lenin could hardly be considered
  28. conservative.  And is it not the conservative who advocates federalism, that
  29. doctrine upon which our country was founded, also called "states rights"?
