What's right is right and what's wrong is > wrong (no pun intended). I'm not trying to play with semantics. I honestly believe that there can be "conservative" Democrats and "liberal" Republicans (although I haven't seen to many of the latter.) I also don't believe that the "liberal/conservative mindset" is irrelevant. 200 years ago, there was a group that believed certain things were "right," usually because they'd always been done. Child labor, slavery, lack of sufferage for women. People who followed a conservative mindset saw these things and knew they were good. (Or at least, couldn't see anything wrong with them.) Today, you couldn't find anyone who considers themselves a "conservative" who would support these institutions, but they don't see that these things didn't go away on their own, someone had to fight again them and generally thoses someone's were being lambasted as "liberals" (although sometimes they had "other" words for them.)
