That's pretty funny.

Greetings Brain....

quote:

ORIGINAL: Brain
Usage and history
The French Revolution gave the English language two politically descriptive words denoting anti-progressive politics: reactionary and conservative. Reactionary derives from the French word réactionnaire (an early nineteenth-century coinage), and conservative from conservateur, identifying monarchist parliamentarians opposed to the revolution.[2] In this French usage, reactionary denotes "a movement towards the reversal of an existing tendency or state" and a "return to a previous condition of affairs." The Oxford English Dictionary cites the first English-language usage was by John Stuart Mill, in 1840: "The philosophers of the reactionary school—of the school to which Coleridge belongs".[3]

If I read your post correctly then liberals trying to change a current conservative status-quo and return to a previous liberal status-quo would properly be called reactionaries? Also, if they opposed any sort of revolution, even a non-liberal one, they are then conservatives?

Be well....

Obama would campain for understanding. The man spends 3 or 4 days a week on the road campaining, I have never seen a president spend so much time on the road campaining. If I have heard him once I have heard him say a dozen times he just needs to explain it better so the people will understand. between campaning, vacationing, date nights and parties, he hasn't spent more than a day or two a week actually working has he?
