What you’re saying is little different than what lots of liberals say: the concept that things which may have once been true are suddenly obsolete because “everything’s different now” and “we can’t turn back the clock.” But conservatives are supposed to believe in eternal and universal truths and principles.

That all good and well, and I firmly believe that, all things being equal. But this is a situation that demands a different approach even from conservatives. There must be something left to conserve, someone must defend the universal truths against the evil seeking to destroy them. That in noway is a liberal stance. They would just go with the flow. “Hey, its a brave new world dude! Praise Allah or whomever man!”.

The point is simply a change of tactics to fit the reality of the situation. Pragmatism at its best. A true conservative trait I believe.

Otherwise last one out get the lights.
