:: Maybe "theism" (1678 -- curiously invented after "atheism" which is already a liberal word here!) or "pander" (1616) to describe liberal behavior?  I'm just looking through a list of 17th century words for these; I'll keep looking to fill in the hole if you don't think they qualify!  Learning lots of strange words along the way... --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 17:37, 12 June 2009 (EDT)

Apparently, the word "designer" originated between 1640 and 1650.  While it may not have been an important conservative word at the time, I would argue that it has become one since in pointing out the evidence that the universe is designed.  --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 19:27, 12 June 2009 (EDT)
