Conservativism is still alive. You just have to go to the Libertarian or Constitution parties to find it. It's dead in the republican party.
Time out. BTW, leaving the 'r' in Republican in small case was cute.
Let's take a logical look at your statement. You said conservatism is still alive, but it's alive only in the Libertarian and Constitution parties. Hmmm...
Then it must be dead.
And since when are Libertarians "conservative?" Libertarianism is libertarianism. Saying that conservatism is in those two mutually exclusive parties stretches the definition of conservatism so far that it snaps.

the word "conservative" has been hijacked much like the word "liberal" was... people doen't even seem to know what it USED to mean.
while i don't agree true conservativism is dead within the Republican party - it definitly is unwanted by the moderates. the new moderate Republicans either want conservatives to STFU and not vote at all... or settle for the lesser of two evils and vote (and then STFU).
and Libertarians are not conservatives.... but i agree the Contitutional Party seems to be - mostly.
