Thank you MIE – You have just completely proved my point. Conservatism, as an ideology, is at its essence is Nothing. How can a movement be anti-ideology. That in and of itself is a self defeating, indefinable, oxymoron. Conservatism is Pragmatism. Whatever will get something done. Who cares what is getting done, or why. Just do something.

Four legs good, two legs bad right? And some of us (so cons and luke warm moderates) are just a little more equal than others huh?

Disraeli was indeed a Tory. Conservatism reduced to its essense rejects ideology as the centerpiece of civil society. Rather, it advances problem solving that addresses civic problems. In Burke’s day, it was appalling working conditions in newly industrialized England. Stability is the key. The programs promoted by the religious zealots that post on this site result in instability such a religious wars. Conservative Reactor–Vilsack was an effective conservative leader. He got things done.

Or pick a political ideology that actually has a definition, a movement, and is doing something. Put some meat in your titles. Stand for something!

I personally stand for individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy. At least politically.

I think that true Conservatism is voting to maintain whatever the current status quo is. Vote for Culver. Back in the day it was voting for slavery, and segregation. Tomorrow it might be voting for continuing to fund Extremely Graphic ProHomosexual Kindergarden Sex Education classes. Just vote to keep things as they are. Always! Never change anything!

I think conservatism is voting for Vilsak or any other democrat willing to put an R behind their name
