I can think of other descriptions but I think Brian or Jim would object.

LOL - Nonsense - i have few conservative views.

What I'm not is a Progressive, and happily so, and I oppose the social justice bullshit that has been taking over the atheist/skeptic movement and liberalism today.

What do you think my conservative bona fides are? I support as free a market as possible, but with reasonable laws and regulations? I prefer lower taxation to higher taxation, absent a demonstrable need to raise more money? What would you say is, like, the main political position I hold that suggests that I am "conservative" politically?
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

There you go. You asked the question and answered it at once. All I can add to it is: Milton Friedman.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould
