:::::This is turning into a fruitful discussion.  I think Church/State issues originally defined the spectrum, but it was redefined several times over the decades.  American founding fathers were "leftist" in this regard, in not cowtowing to the Church of England and Constitutionally rejecting a titled nobility.  Conservative [[Tories]] who were loyal to Crown, like [[Benedict Arnold]], founded that Tory colony of Canada.  Then that commie symp [[FDR]] made an alliance with that Tory Churchill which true American "leftists", i.e. true to the principals of the founding fathers, opposed.  Finally that Tory Thatcher laid a rose on that classical liberal economic thinker, Ronald Reagan's coffin, signifying true American liberals loyal to the principals of the founders have finally made peace with anti-American Tories and traitors who once sought to destroy the Union. My, how far we've come.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 16:25, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

*ROFL!! A good turn of phrase there, Rob!  And on point, Ed!  Everything since the mid-thirties has been "spun" completely out of Whackyville, so as to render definitions useless.  And that was my obtuse point. ;-) --~ [[User:TK|TK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 16:31, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
