>>"conservative" and "liberal" have gone through so many permutations over the generations that they no longer mean much of anything. Yet they continue to clutter up debate.<<

Agree. I guess it's part of that "radical individualism" that Bork referred to when any person can assign any definition they want to a word if it serves their purpose. I guess you end of with conversational anarchy.

<< The problem is that someone like Clinton, who typifies what Bork calls "modern liberalism" is not really a liberal politically. In fact, when he headed the Democratic Leadership Conference, Clinton spearheaded the "anti-liberal" drive of the "New Democrats." >>

The problem is that Clinton is a total chameleon, and appears to feel no inconsistency in his positions as they change radically depending upon his reading of what the people he's talking to want to hear at the time.
