Kudos to your wife. It sounds like she has a sense of humour!
Now, to the point you raised.
If you look carefully at the words I quoted, you will note that they include quotations from the posts of Ustwo. Ustwo described himself as a compassionate conservative, so I used that term (in quote marks).
It was an attempt to be concilatory actually. Many of you use the term "liberal" as an insult, though I personally wear it as a badge of honour (only in the US does it seem to be a bad thing to be liberal!). Conversely, and to ensure you wouldn't be insulted, I didn't use the general term "conservative", but the
nicer phrase (if you will) of "compassionate conservative".
So, the quotations above were not only from YOUR posts, but many of your fellow board members. I think we all now accept you, personally, are
NOT a compassionate conservative.
