re: #172 albusteve

It’s kind of the same reason I refuse to call myself a conservative anymore - the field of people calling themselves that are so rife with bigots, birchers, bile, and birthers that you destroy any effectiveness you might have in a discussion with that label. It’s become a dirty word, a epithet. So I don’t call myself conservative anymore because life is too short and I don’t have time for all of the explanation I’d rather get to the argument main without the explanations.
