Or maybe we could stop trying to put people and ideas into one of two pots. If someone is pro-choice, pro-education, pro-death penalty, pro-free trade, pro-free speech, anti-unnecessary taxes, anti-pork, pro-basic social services, pro-smart growth, pro-gun and anti-assault weapon, is that person a "liberal" or a "conservative"?
Even breaking it down to a single issue, like imigration: is placing tighter restrictions on immigration "liberal" or "conservative"? Is it "Democrat" or "Republican"? The answer can change at the drop of a hat.
You define "Right" as whatever you think is correct, but that doesn't necessarily have any correlation to historical perceptions of "right" or "left," or any relationship to people who are currently sitting on the right side of the aisle.

How about "People who want to tell you what to do" and "People who think you should decide for yourself"?
