- >conservative is an overbroad term

- The problem is yours though. "Conservatives", "Romantics", "Liberals",
- "Moderns", and "Totalitarians" are terms that have been used for a
- century or more to describe certain kinds of political thought. It's
- pretty useless to argue against the ordering of political thought.
- There simply has to be some way to converse about political things
- without worrying all the time that you might be limiting people,
- pigeon-holeing them, etc. It's always assumed (by anyone who really
- knows what he's talking about) that within these broad groups there
- are some strong differences but that we can still make some general
- statements about them that define them.
