And if I'm thinking like a "true conservative," then what does that make all these numbskulls (Bush included) that are trumpeting private accounts as the best thing since sliced bread?
Besides, I don't think I'm going outside the definition of liberal:
Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas;
Favoring proposals for reform,
And did you know that thew almighty "conservative" concept of the government keeping its hands out of economic affairs is also part of the definition of liberal?
a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets
Amazing eh?

They're trumpeting private accounts because it's more likely to pass and is a step, granted a baby step, in the right direction. to most democrats, removing a social program altogether(wether it is working or not, more than likely not) is second only to very bad violation of a child.
my point with my original post is that you are generally the one trumpeting about how wealth distribution is such a grand idea. This is definately more on the conservative side than your usual rhetoric.
