liberal to conservatives is just a euphamism for communism. They avoid the "C" word for fear of being branded a redneck McCarthyite - even though they view any form of Govt. intervention in the form of progressive taxation, social assistance, medicare/medicaid, SS etc.. as communism and anyone who advocates such things are communists.

Rep. Paul also mourns the loss of the prior definition of "liberalism." lewrockwell.com The political right equates freedom with national greatness brought about through military strength. Like the left, modern conservatives favor an all-powerful central state – but for militarism, corporatism, and faith-based welfarism. Unlike the Taft-Goldwater conservatives of yesteryear, today’s Republicans are eager to expand government spending, increase the federal police apparatus, and intervene militarily around the world. The last tenuous links between conservatives and support for smaller government have been severed. “Conservatism,” which once meant respect for tradition and distrust of active government, has transformed into big-government utopian grandiosity.
