Many people who define themselves as liberal are not liberal. Many who define themselves as conservatives are not conservative.
However, I think what you are getting at is that we should not automatically assign the terms "liberal" or "conservative" to any particular political party.
As long as the likes of Mitt Romney exist, I'll never do that.
I will, however, also not pretend that a party that specifically states that they want an AWB in thier political platform ISN'T an enemy to my freedoms.
