:The problem, as I see it, keeps returning to the same point: what is a conservative word? Despite repeated requests for clarification, no coherent definition of what constitutes a conservative word has been forthcoming. There appears to be no objective filter that can be readily applied. The only filtering agent seems to be Mr. Schlafly's imagination. To be fair, Schlafly could be applying a very rigorous methodology behind-the-scenes... but to date he has been somewhat reticent in sharing his criteria with the rest of us. --[[User:DonnyC|DonnyC]] 11:09, 10 September 2013 (EDT)

::In response to Wschact, he presents a hypothesis, but I don't think it comports with the evidence.  The English language does grow, but it doesn't double in size per century, as conservative terms have.  It would not be possible to discover the geometric growth in conservative terms if there was not such a rapid expansion.  And this growth is consistent with the growth in percentages of those who self-identify as conservative, and in amazing conservative victories on issues liberal expect to win (such as [[gun control]]).--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:30, 10 September 2013 (EDT)

::In response to DonnyC, choosing conservative words is not a precise science, but it is more scientific than most of what liberals consider to be science.  The conservative nature of nearly every term on the list can hardly be disputed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:33, 10 September 2013 (EDT)
