I found this while on a etymology website (why etymology you may find yourself asking? - because I'm a geek and these things unknowingly interest me) and I found it rather entertaining especially in light of the recent election:
"Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others." [Ambrose Bierce, "Devil's Dictionary," 1911]
I'm sure we could all agree on this one no matter what party you back.
