It wasn't a distinction. It was intended as a joke.

check. I'll remember that. I'd hate to be verbose for all the wrong

That's not the distinction that I would make. Conservatives don't need
to be verbose because they believe that they already have God's truth.
Liberals too easily spend much time on trying to figure out what to
create in place of God, and figuring out how to avoid stepping on the
merry-go-round.

That's a doozy.
Note also that principle 4, "Utilize Powerful Conservative Terms",
links to another of Schlafly's crackpot projects, to prove that since
1612, "Powerful, insightful new conservative terms have grown at a
geometric rate, roughly doubling every century"
