I'm a conservative and follow many conservative and libertarian FB pages. It's common to see memes on them making fun of Kirk.

Given that you're in a named basket with people you laugh at, don't you wish you had a more specific word to describe yourself than "conservative?"

I am genuinely curious why reasonable conservatives aren't fighting for a reasonable label, for their reasonable politics.

Discussion is easier when words have some meaning. "Conservative" certainly has lost virtually any consensus policy meaning.
