Oh, please, not that XXXXXXX again. If you have to put an adjective in front of it in order to be one, you ain't.

That's a good argument that I haven't seen made often enough: That people who think "conservative" has to be cathodically protected with a claim of "compassion" don't really believe in conservatism at all, or rather believe instead that conservatism is what its enemies say it is.
