"I gave you the dictionary definition for a liberal and you just ignored it."

You gave me dictionary definitions for the adjective liberal. A liberal like yourself is a noun....although not a proper one IMHO.

Conservatism: merriam-webster.com

1 capitalized a : the principles and policies of a Conservative party b : the Conservative party
2a : disposition in politics to preserve what is established b : a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change; specifically : such a philosophy calling for lower taxes, limited government regulation of business and investing, a strong national defense, and individual financial responsibility for personal needs (as retirement income or health-care coverage)
3: the tendency to prefer an existing or traditional situation to change

That's funny, I didn't see anything in those definitions that reflected dictatorship or dogmatism.

"The ideology of communism is not so bad, just not realistic."

A high minded idea that will NEVER work, because it goes against human nature.

Speaking of Vietnam, I see Obama has "advisors" on the ground in Libya. What a hoot......
