Would you rather be "bourgeois" or "advanced?"
So, how would you prefer to be described?
Choice 1:
moderate, bourgeois, cautious, constant, controlled, conventional, die-hard, fearful, firm, fogyish*, fuddy-duddy*, guarded, hard hat*, hidebound, holding to, illiberal, inflexible, middle-of-the-road*, not extreme, obstinate, old guard*, old-line, orthodox, quiet, red-neck, right, right-wing, sober, stable, steady, timid, traditional, traditionalistic, unchangeable, unchanging, uncreative, undaring, unimaginative, unprogressive, white bread*, Tory*, bitter-ender*, classicist, conventionalist, fossil, obstructionist, preserver, reactionary, red-neck, silk-stocking*, standpat, stick-in-the-mud*, traditionalist, unprogressive
Choice 2:
progressive, advanced, avant-garde, big, broad, broad-minded, catholic, detached, disinterested, dispassionate, enlightened, flexible, free, general, high-minded, humanistic, humanitarian, impartial, indulgent, inexact, interested, latitudinarian, left, lenient, libertarian, loose, magnanimous, not close, not literal, not strict, permissive, pink, radical, rational, reasonable, receiving, receptive, reformist, tolerant, unbiased, unbigoted, unconventional, understanding, unorthodox, unprejudiced, Santa Claus, altruistic, beneficent, benevolent, big, bighearted*, bounteous, bountiful, casual, charitable, eleemosynary, exuberant, free, generous, good Joe, handsome, kind, lavish, munificent, open-handed, open-hearted, philanthropic, prince, prodigal, profuse, soft touch, softie, unselfish, unsparing, unstinging
Choice 1 are the synonyms for "conservative" listed in Roget's Thesaurus. Choice 2 are the synonyms for "liberal."
I'm voting line 2. I don't like all the adjectives there, but I'll take the bad with the good.
