Conservative... another definition

Conservative used to mean to conserve;
conservative:
adjective;
1. conforming to the standards and conventions of the middleclass
2. resistant to change
3. unimaginatively conventional
4. avoiding excess
noun;
1. a person who is reluctant to accept changes
2. a member of the conservative party

Of which, since neo-conservatism has come into existence, the only
thing most people can say how they define conservatism is that they
belong to that political party... the rest has become meaningless.

They are not beholden to the middleclass in any way shape or form...
instead they defend the rich, and the rich alone.

Unimaginative?
For the most part, not changing policies, but rather the names of
those policies.

Avoiding excess?
Only if you're poor or middleclass, otherwise you enjoy 12 houses like
Sen. McCain does.

When Theodore Roosevelt was President, he set aside public lands to
"conserve" for future generations to enjoy.
Neo-cons instead want to drill and strip mine those very lands.
Yes, a change in policy... for the worse!

If you hold the belief that conservatives are indeed resistant to
change...
that could be why so many conservatives are still infantile.
And are really no different than our Islamic terrorist enemies who
strive to hold on to Islamic laws formulated 800 years ago.
