All words are labels. That's just the nature of language.

Saying "I'm not into labels" is like saying "grunt grunt oog oog."

The conservative/liberal crap goes on forever without defining the words. War Criminal Bu$h is not a conservative using my definition.

The best example of language and the importance of definitions is in the question "Can an unstoppable force move an immovable object?"

Illegal wars are not supported by any definition of liberal or conservative. The weaponization of space is not a liberal v conservative issue.

But labels serve to make things an us or them issue without even discussing the issue. Things are more clear along fascist legislation and public good legislation. Look at the Medicare bill of 2003 that surely was no conservative ideal. It was a fascist bonanza though.
