I'm not fond of labels either. Oh, I'm quite fond of labels. You have to have labels if you're going to have intelligent discussion just as you need any other nouns. I just think we should get them right and use temperate voices when we articulate them rather than spit them like epithets. Re "Chrisian conservatives," I neglected to mention in my earlier post that that label is also distinguished from "conservative Christians" which is a label that indicates a subgrouping of Christian interpretation rather than a US political leaning. We have liberal Christians and conservative Christians--Unitarians on one end and fundamentalists on the other. There's probably a lot of practical overlap between Christian conservatives and conservative Christians but they're two different concepts. I will be on the lookout for incidences of "right-wing conservatives." Perhaps people who say that mean "extreme conservatives." I dunno.
