Am I the only one who feels we should stop referring to things/people as "conservative" when, by all rational definition, they are instead dangerously radical?

Don't underestimate the power of the language we use to lessen perception (including our own) of the threats we face.

I'm not saying this applies across the board to all 'conservatives' as I know there are traditional conservatives still out there (I think!). But the folks we keep fretting and writing about are certainly not in that camp.
