Why is that it is ok to decides what to label people when they oppose your viewpoint but you will insist on their keeping Your label for what you want to be called? Janus, god of two faces, right (or rightwing?) Fair enough; then conservatives are really to be called RightWingers..call a thinbg by its true name.

I do that because they are not classical liberals, nor are they very similar to the liberals of my youth, who were mostly social democrats, but were also strong supporters of freedom of speech, and strong opponents of racial preferences. This goes against common usage, but I think it helps clarify what they actually stand for.
