Please stop categorizing political people. Leave it to others, particularly senior admins, to decide whether someone is conservative, libertarian, or liberal. There's no point arguing over this sort of thing. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 16:47, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

==Chesterton edits==
I'm somewhat puzzled by your edits to the G.K. Chesterton article. While he was, by his own description, "orthodox", he certainly wasn't a Conservative. I have a digital anthology of his letters here with me (it is read-only, by the way) and to quote from an April, 1924 copy of the ILN, he said: "''The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.''" I believe to describe oneself, if at all, through religious terms rather than political terms is and was an admirable trait, and we should continue that, when the subject and the source are one and the same regarding the analysis of his philosophies.
