→Not liberal: Problem is in defining terms.

The problem is with terminology and definitions. "Liberal" and "conservative" are terms that encompass a whole bag of issues and views, including political, economic, and religious. There are many people who are "liberal" in some areas and "conservative" in other areas (even though, in some cases, their views may appear to be or may actually be contradictory). Although I'd agree that someone who opposed homosexuality is likely to be a conservative, that is not the sole factor defining a conservative. If they are mostly but not completely one way or the other, they might be called a "moderate" liberal or conservative. But some, like Phelps from what I can gather, fit neatly in neither. But this is only a problem if one believes that "liberal" and "conservative" between them cover all possibilities. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:13, 26 February 2009 (EST)
