Well, I mean: come on. They have that GeoffP guy. This cat's so whack, he thinks he's a god named Myuu. Neoconservaticommie bastard.
I had to look that one up: An opponent of an established order, especially one who opposes state support of an established church. Discounting the church reference, I would agree. Conservatives usually like the way things are, Liberals like to see new ideas and new solutions implemented, and sciforums probably has more liberal than conservative members. I don't think "front" is the right word, since we aren't trying to hide anything.
Can one be a "conservative" without being right-wing, however? I'm absolutely a communist, yet I confess to a strong antidisestablishmentarian streak. For example, I'm still something of a monarchist. Not that I want them to have any power, obviously, but still I like the cultural concept that they are. History, you know. Anyway I feel "conservative" might be a bit misleading because of the rightist connotations.
