Functional Names

It seems to me a great deal of our disappointment with the political system comes from names that don't align with function.

Conservatives don't appear to conserve anything.  Values? Scandals.  Taxpayer dollars?  Bush and Reagan deficits.

Liberals don't appear to protect our liberties.  Government solutions?  Eroded self-efficacy.

Progressives don't appear to make progress.

And so on down the ballot.

If we had to come up with alternative names for these groups, names that represent what they actually do, what would they be?
