it is true, as those who claim these definitions have morphed them into meaningless terms over recent times.
what was once conservative, is now supporter of big gov't invasive foreign policy, creation of domestic police state, corporate profiteering, real-wage decreasing, personal freedom threatening, international status detroying, international law violating, deceptive propaganda spewing, poverty increasing, social services cutting, deficit building, unemployment and offshoring job losing, extremists who represent anyone but those who voted for them. all this and not even the pretense of the "trickle down" economics theory that crashed and burned during the reagan era debacle.
on the other hand, what was once liberal is now moderate, no real social conscious or activism, let alone opposition to the wrapped in the flag gov't for the sake of itself that we find the us so subservient to at present.
the emerging term and popular movement of significance is neither of the above. progressive is the true term for those who will not accept the state of affairs as they stand.
so for those of you who would label themselves conservative today, understand you are supporting criminal extremists who do not have the voters interests as a concern. the calling people liberals only defines the moderate.
those who claim to be liberal are not in the mode of opposition, so this is not a label to take if one is for change out of the present situation. the democrats which have been voted un support bush in all issues, rhetoric aside.
as for myself, if you include me as a "liberal", you are not hitting home.
start to acknowlege the progressive when you rant over support for the bush criminal syndicate, and the mindset behind support.

What was true yesterday will be different tomorrow.
