For individuals too discerning to understand this discussion, let me translate:
Liberal -> Democratic
Conservative -> Republican
To the fuckwad partisan mental-zombies participating in the liberal vs. conservative fight:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS EITHER OF YOU. You cannot be a liberal, you must be some SORT of liberal. Socially liberal, economically liberal, etc.
Same thing goes for conservatives. Classical conservative? Neoconservative? Etc. etc. etc.
Quit veiling your squabble in terminology you learned in highschool civics, and reveal yourself for the sportsfans you amount to. You may as well discuss the relative merits of the Greens vs the Blues (
