Ah, come on Rough Rider: put your monocle in and get a sense of humour!
There are so many definitions of so many different words that I'm not sure
anyone knows for sure what they mean. When there are statements made
without a common frame of reference and no supporting definitions or
references to overcome this deficiency in communication, their use
become pointless and meaningless. And this goes for so-called "party"
designations, as well. I don't think a Democrat or Republican from one
coast is the same thing as on the other coast ... might have something to
do with where they are and the regional needs.
"Left" and "Right" came out of the trans- / post-Revolutionary period in
France (their revolution) and some pseudosophisticate decided he or she
needed some "Continental" lingo to make them sound cultured.
"Liberal" and "Conservative"have gotten so far off the mark that they are
meaningless. A true "Conservative" would be one who held to the intent of
the Constitution as it was originally written and interpreted by those who
wrote it. A "Liberal" ("leftie") would then be one who tried to be loose in
translation and interpretation and therefore agree to forgoing the
proscription to engaging in foreign entanglements and supporting pre-
emptive wars. So, all these "compassionate Conservatives" are really "busy-
body Liberals".
As far as "wits" are concerned, I knew someone who had lost theirs once
upon a time and I tried to help find them. But ... no one could ever
describe one to me so - alas - I had to give up ...

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
