That's right... Conservatism and Conservatives have NOTHING to do with what's going on.

@Roamer, indeed.
As you realize, it does not take genius to grasp an idea; simply pause and reflection rather than
hustle and noise.
But that is a bridge too far for the predictable ranters, so the result is another endless scrum of
blame and responsibility posts.
Principled Conservatism was and remains first, last and always, an idea as to the attitudes,
behaviors, impulses and sentiments necessary for culture/society to survive and thrive.
Logic allowed Man to examine the Natural Law and discern the precepts that would best achieve that result, permitting the wise ancients to define the moral order of principled conservatism, which had nothing to do w/economics, politics or religion.
At its core, is the Principle of Prescription which asserts that the precedent of matters agreed
by timeless usage, is eternally superior to any current whim.
Yet what is our claimed savior, by those castigating conservatism, from our morass???
Why it's better politics and politicians, the very garbage who brought us to our present nadir!!!
LORD HAVE MERCY!!!
