A libertarian believes that the less the government messes with the market the better.

A liberal/progressive believes the government should regulate the free market and then regulate it more when it their earlier regulations don’t work.

A conservative believes that old government regulations are perfectly fine but new ones are insane, unless they personally benefit him. Recent new regulation should be repealed.

Yes, because political positions are best defined in one or two sentences. You are mistaken on your definition entirely on conservatives.

They hold that the democracy of the dead was not a bunch of insane baboons and for good reason made the laws which we have, and that if there is to be reform it should be a prudent reform and definitely not a revolution. [/quote]

I was making fun of the Sean Hannity’s of the world with my off the cuff definition of conservatives. I have much in common with conservatives but all too often many of them do not think things through and are afraid of change.[/quote]

I put that blame on the lack of reading the classics of the Western world. [/quote]

Absoulutely. These things have been dissected and discussed for thousands of years and most people, liberal, conservative or other, don’t have a clue about it.
