How is the original meaning of the term, one that predates the conservative meaning by centuries a "redefinition"? BrentH 15:59, 6 September 2011 (EDT)
- The conservative meaning is much more broad, while the liberal redefinition specifically omits the defensive purpose. --JefferyA 20:42, 7 September 2011 (EDT)
- You do understand that "REdefining" implies CHANGING an original definition, right? And you are aware that "walls"--and the word we use to talk about them--existed long before the United States or Mexico, right? So unless you have a time machine, this is a non-starter.
