That much I am aware of, and it's a expression commonly used by so-called
conservatives when referring to the freedom of thought expressed by non-
(so-called)-conservatives. However, if it is intended as a derogatory
statement, it seems to be a case of "takes one to know one" as few people
are less able to act freely (that is away from the playbook) than
conservatives, at least in Canada. And our consies took their cue heavily
from the Bush Whitehouse.
