Talk:Essay:Best New Conservative Words (view source)
Revision as of 22:56, March 4, 2013
, 22:56, March 4, 2013A liberal can wish someone "Merry Christmas," and is welcome to use other conservative terms. But such use would not detract from the conservative nature of the terms.
The vast majority of so-called "Conservative" words shown here are just words without any sort of difference between a Conservative use and a Liberal use (e.g. activism, addictive, aerobics, accuracy, alarmism, alcoholism, etc.). And somehow the statistics at the top of the page claim that the usage of "Conservative" words are growing at an exponential rate compared to "Liberal" words! It is clear that this is just a blatant example of fact-twisting employed in order to further Conservative propaganda. [[User:RaymondZ|RaymondZ]] 17:23, 4 March 2013 (EST)

== Reply to the above ==
I think some conflate a conservative word/idea/concept with whether the person using the word is a conservative or a liberal. A similar objection was raised to [[Greatest Conservative Songs]], when people insisted that a particular song was sung by a liberal group, and therefore could not be conservative.
A liberal can wish someone "Merry Christmas," and is welcome to use other conservative terms. But such use would not detract from the conservative nature of the terms.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:56, 4 March 2013 (EST)
