LABELOLOGY
Instead of "liberals" and "conservatives," what we have in this country are conservationists (Democrats) and transformationists (Republicans). Democrats are conservationist with respect to the environment, the welfare state, Social Security, the Middle East and the UN and foreign affairs, the secular humanist official creed of the public schools (as opposed to allowing religious diversity), and so on. Republicans want transformation in all these areas. Will it catch on? I doubt it: too many syllables. Too bad.
