These days, it’s hard to tell. By definition, liberals are about embracing change and being open to paradigm shifts while conservatives believe strongly in traditional values, and — as a consequence — are less open to change, particularly radical change.
Today’s neoconservatives and evangelical Christian conservatives do not eschew change in favor of maintaining the status quo. In fact, their agenda depends on change — but not the good kind. You might call these political aims "anti-progressive," "regressive," or — if you’re feeling particularly snarky — "retentive." In fact, I’d suggest using those terms whenever possible to characterize the ideological slant of today’s right wing.
Think about it: they’ve already deleted most of the Bill of Rights, eliminated habeas corpus, thrown executive accountability overboard, cut Medicare benefits, shipped jobs overseas, burned diplomatic bridges, purged voting rolls, erased electoral paper trails, and effectively wiped Iraq off of the map. And now, the latest fiasco: the axing of U.S. Attorneys and the "misplacement" of up to five million emails.
Conservatives resist change; these people love it — just so long as it’s the backwards kind. They’re not conservatives — they’re regressives.
