I appreciate the explanation.
But, just so I'm sure I understand, does this mean that the War On Terror... which is clearly to "take care of the people, ALL the people, ALL the time" is a liberal project? Sure fooled me.
What about administration of our courts? National Parks? Border patrols? The post office?
On the conservative side, there are meth dealers - who manufacture their own product and merchandize it. Good conservatives. They're clearly taking care of themselves. Bank robbers. Industries which pump pollutants straight into everyone else's air and water. Young mothers-to-be, paying doctors to rip the inconvenience within into a thousand bloody memories.
All these folks are trying to do is to take care of themselves. Are they conservative?

It seems to me that maybe your definition needs a little tweakin'.
