Conservatives oppose change.
This means that conservatives have been, among other things, monarchists and the Tories in the American revolution. Conservatives have opposed suffrage for women, child labor laws, and emancipation of slaves. This according to your definition.
You have gathered a group of characteristics that you like and have defined them as conservative. You have done, from the other pole, exactly what you accuse the researchers of doing.
And so help me, if you hang Nazis over on the Left one more time by virtue of parsing the party name instead of examining their behavior, I will insist that there is only one party in this country that understands democracy, based on parsing the names of the major parties. It will make as much sense.
