- Right. Nor should the group have "patriot" in its name, as there are
- many, many citizens of the USA who consider themselves patriots who don't
- subscribe to the philosophies and group agendas outlined in the original
- CFD for this concept. The group should have .usa. in there to make it
- obvious that we're not talking about Norway, St. Vincent and the
- Grenadines, or San Marino, for example, and should be "conservative" since
- that's essentially the most descriptive, unambiguous word for what the
- poster of the CFD has in mind for this group.
