Re-defining conservatism to death
Today's Humpty Dumpty award goes to Andrew Sullivan:
It seems to me to be fair to call those who would ratchet up the debt "left-wing." If you still believe, as I do, that conservatism is about balancing the budget, then McCain is the least conservative of all three candidates. He is fiscally the furthest left out there.
Well, of course. If there's nothing to "conservatism" but watching the bottom line, then promoting same-sex marriage and howling at those horrible "Christianists" can be part of the new 'n improved "conservative" agenda.

Of course the word "conservative" has been emptied of all meaning and now serves no purpose other than to cause confusion or to deliberately deceive. I have not pondered the question of a suitable label that would be meaningful, but a first suggestion is the initials JC, which would refer to someone who holds the Judeo-Christian worldview. In the West there is traditionally only one alternative category. It has been named by various labels including heathen, infidel, pagan, and barbarian.
