Zimbler,
re: "But I am not sure I would define them as 'conservatives versus liberals'."
As I just told ktc, I at least attempted to define the terms. If you can improve upon them or provide different definitions you think are better, I'd like to see what you come up with.
My dictionary gives definitions of course, but they are too simplistic to be of much value to discussions here. There's a lot more to liberalism than "open-mindedness regarding traditional ways" and more to conservatism than "adherence to traditional methods or views."
On the other hand, it's easy to get so mired in the details that attempts to define the words turn into essays. I think that's the problem ktc encountered when he answered your question by telling us about what a standup guy his liberal golfing buddy is.
