@OmSigDAVID,
That is the most narrowly constructed, narrow-minded definition of Liberalism that I have ever seen and the least founded in reality. If you define liberalism as deviation, then everyone with whom you disagree is a deviant and therefore a liberal.
As for you self-inflating view that conservatives refuse to cheat, let me tell you one real life anecdote and bolster it with a statistic. When my younger brother was looking for a new spiritual outlet and simultaneously looking for a way to express his acting talent, he learned of a conservative Baptist church that built a theatre. He joined and was immediately cast in a play. He left as soon as the play's run ended because the theatre troupe used rehearsals as an excuse to have affairs. Now, the divorce rate is higher in the Bible Belt than it is in the bluest of states, MA. There are several reasons for this: poorly educated partners who marry too young are included but . . . the real reason for the high divorce rate is the amount of extra-marital cheating that goes on.
If conservatives can not be true to their live partners, they can not be true to anyone.
Now, I need the help of someone who has studied linguistics. There is a way of speaking that involves setting aside an untruth is a specific way . . . this is done to create an impression that the untruth is a truth.
An example of this was when george bush declared his candidacy, he followed the order of his handlers and described himself as a "compassionate conservative."
Now, back when I was in grad school the first time and was a young career woman, I would meet men who told me,"I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative." I would never give them my phone number because I knew they were lying. During the time of the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power Movement, the anti-Vietnam era, following the birth of the Peace Corps, no young man wanted to be seen as against equal rights, hating black progress, in favor of the war or as a "Know Nothing" so he would pretend to be liberal, but . . .
Well, bush did the same thing. He pretended to not be as nasty as most American righties are. That is essentially cheating. He represented himself as kind hearted and caring.
Now a similar sort of cheating was the sort that Condoleeza Rice testified before Congress prior to vote to bullying attack on Iraq. Rice used the words "mushroom cloud."
No one with honor would lie as bush and rice did.
As for your statement to MontereyJack that he is ignorant of basic concepts, that in and of itself is not really a lie . . . largely because it is your opinion that MJ is ignorant. However, as MJ's writing evidences, he has a wider perspective on government than you do and his definitions are the widely accepted ones. So, the only thing that MJ is ignorant of is the definitions that exist within your own mind.
