What the hell is a "pragmatic conservative"?

Good question. It is the same as a "compassionate conservative", i.e., NOT conservative.

Just as I thought. I guess we'd be "crusty conservatives"?

I really don't know anymore with all these neo-lib/conservative/whatever they are hanging around spewing their recently acquired political knowledge like they were sent from Heaven to save us with their wisdom.

Thank God most of them sound too young to vote!
