A quick pro-tip for those who argue in here

[OC for ME]

Any street where? If two people tell you different things, then what do you do?

What do YOU think liberal and conservative mean, in political terms?

Well, me asking anyone, on any street, what a liberal is a liberal would say/use /interject 'progressive'. Everybody else would say a liberal likes big government, less freedom, and Obamacare.

Pretty simple. Non-liberals do not try to call a duck something other than a duck....quack!

Again with the vague definitions. What is "big government" in this case? What is "less freedom"? Do these things apply universally, and conservatives are the opposite (small government, more freedom)? So the war on drugs will be over soon, conservatives will stop trying to shove the government in women's vaginas, and we'll cut our ridiculous levels of military spending? Since those three things are just some examples of places where I've seen so-called conservatives support bigger government and less freedom.

So, again, what do YOU define as liberal and conservative? Enough with the vagaries, because the "any street" is provably false when you're comparing different countries or even different regions of this country.
