"Conservatives all believe in the sancity of private property as well as life."

Are you speaking of "Conservative" politicians?
If so, I would say this is true only if it suits their purpose.

Pols are another story completely, as you so aptly state. I do know of two who espoused conservative values while running for election and having watched one (U.S. Senate) for 8 years and another (State Attorney General) for 2 years. So far, they have continued rock solid in their espouses positions.

Every one else is a toss-up, depending on who is donating big hunks of money by large donors.
