[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1375718, member: 25776"] Grit, I am posting the following which was copied from Wikipedia. I know that is not a prestigious reference. It does demonstrate that the terms conservative and liberal are hard to define and have different meaning. I doubt there is a conservative who does not hold some liberal values. Witness Dick Cheney, he changed his views on homosexuality after his daughter announced she was gay. It takes a person of substance to do that and was one of his best moments. [b]There is no single set of policies that are universally regarded as conservative, because the meaning of conservatism depends on what is considered traditional in a given place and time. Thus conservatives from different parts of the world—each upholding their respective traditions—may disagree on a wide range of issues. Edmund Burke, an 18th-century politician who opposed the French Revolution but supported the American Revolution, is credited as one of the main theorists of conservatism in Britain in the 1790s.[4] According to Quintin Hogg, the chairman of the British Conservative Party in 1959, "Conservatism is not so much a philosophy as an attitude, a constant force, performing a timeless function in the development of a free society, and corresponding to a deep and permanent requirement of human nature itself.[/b] [/QUOTE]
