I looked up "conservative:".

If I tell you it says: "redneck", "fuddy-duddy", "stick-in-the-mud", "middle-of-the-road" and "obstinate", would you believe me?.

A Thesaurus is one thing because it is word association.

The English language is a living language that changes all the time. One would expect a thesaurus to change more than a dictionary.

To prove my point I went and got the hardback bound Random House Collegiate Dictionary I used to get through college. You know, back before the interwebs.

Guess what?

The definition is exactly the same as the current definition of conservative found on www.dictionary.com

A dictionary or thesaurus describes language usage. A word means what people agree it means. Most would be happy with the above definitions and associations.
It is entirely open to conservatives to publish a 'politically correct' dictionary or thesaurus. I am puzzled as to why this has not already happened as surely rednecks believe such publications would be enormously popular and make tons and tons of healthy profit for the publishers.
