Reply #7: I sure don't use "conservative" to describe the GOP

[AverageJoe]

Those freaks are, at best, reactionary.

There is nothing inherently wrong with being conservative, in the traditional sense of that word. It implies caution and judicious action. True conservatives are reluctant to change, and that can be maddening, but they are not, as a rule, evil. True conservatives and true progressives can and have worked together for the betterment of this nation and the world. Sadly, there are few of either left on the national political stage.

The GOP is evil. No two ways about it. No way in hell are they conservative.
