That is what liberals would *pretend* conservatives are like “from the outside”, that they are, weirdly enough, monolithic and “radical”, as ridiculous as that sounds, for opposing liberal-radical change. “Radical” for wanting the status quo or less.

But within conservatism, it is an entirely different picture. Conservatives do not drive people who disagree with one of our ideas out of our ranks, unlike liberals who demand lock-step obedience from all on their side. This is because conservatives debate and argue ideas, but once liberals decide on something, there must be unanimous agreement or the “disbelievers” are “heretical” and expelled. Belief must be absolute, until they order it changed.

Well you got a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-Christian cult leader in 2012, so maybe you are right, but we conservatives are trying to fix that and make sure that we eliminate the corrosive penetration by the hard left agenda into conservative ranks.

Conservative still means what it used to, but there is a real effort to eliminate it’s meaning, by making it mean nothing and everything, which is what you are doing with your ridiculous list of contradictions and narrow categories.
