A pretty good analysis of the problem with "Conservative" and "Liberal" as labels.

Please consider the possibility that other labels might be demonized as well.

Might be, and in fact, are, but none of those words, in our current society, are "conservative." There's just not the same kind of organized slur campaign; there is no comparable, high-profile voice pulling a Limbaugh from the left.

Again, this isn't some "This is a general thing that can occur;" this is a survey of how people, right now, are responding to these labels in our current society.

Also, any particular reason you decided to bring this up after more than two months?
