Poly Gov't HW

1) According to Russell Kirk, why did politicians stop labeling themselves as "liberal"?

2) Briefly (BUT NO TOO BRIEFLY) discuss each the 10 conservative principles mentioned by Kirk. Provide a quote that supports each of your analyses. We will work on connecting current events and conservative politicians to each of these tomorrow. A few folks may have trouble but I want you to try. Since you're in front of a computer, look up the meanings of unfamiliar words.
