thisnamecantbetaken says: 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?. http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/conservative I do now I read it! 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 thanks for a great laugh! 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. Conservapedia anyone? adjective Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. adjective Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. From: http://www.wordnik.com/words/liberal @ratilfar. That's really good. So good I was thinking for a minute it wasn't a spoof! Thanks. Haven't laughed so much in weeks. I wish it was.

Use them wisely. |
