I see "conservatism" and "liberalism" as political philosophies and nothing more.

Gotcha. One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.
In the eyes of the revolutionists, the son was a traitor, while in the eyes of the King, the revolutionists were.
Have you seen the video of federal law enforcement instructing local police, who refers to George Washington and others as terrorists? It's quite insidious.
