I had never heard of Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary until seeing a reference to it in a recent newspaper. Here’s what it says for ‘Conservative’:
“n. A statesman who is enamoured of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others.”
Given that we are unfortunate enough to have a coalition of these precise political tendencies, where does that leave us in the Evil Stakes?

It has many truly wonderful definitions such as “Lawyer: One skilled in the circumvention of the law” and is well worth a look. I chose the political one above at least partially for laughs. Find it here http://www.thedevilsdictionary.com/

Anotheoldgit, actually reading the quote would reveal that it says about Conservatives: "they are ALMOST always, wealthy middle aged men from the Southern US." Consequently, it is clearly utterly unnecessary for "our Dave" to be an American in order to qualify!
