Since 'Liberalism' and 'Conservatism' are now equalated with 'Commies' and 'Racist' respectively...?

There is a problem with defining these terms. They are both blanket terms. A conservative isn't just a person that supports existing laws it could be a traditionalist that supports past laws and acts more than current ones. That isn't someone that supports existing laws. Liberals want to change things but not in the same way. Their ideas will differ greatly from group to group. It makes it hard to give these one definition each.
