Is your conservative principle the one which says that the Constitution is the SUPREME law of the land and that government must fit within its strictures? Is THAT your principle? If so, WHY would you accept change to that BEDROCK principle? If that is NOT your bedrock, then why bother to call yourself a conservative, since you would be one of the “living document” liberals? Conservatism IS dying and “useful idiots,” apparently not unlike yourself, are starving it, much as Terri Schaivo was starved by her murderous spouse and his equally murderous judge.

I am not a "living document" liberal. Far from it. Conservativism isn't dying. Just you guys, it seems. Which I am fine with. I and a lot of other people are tired of your hate.

What, exactly, is hateful about wanting to see FedGov and the several States shrunk to fit their constitutional limits? Enquiring minds would LOVE to know.

I would suppose that YOUR brand of “conservatism” will never die, as it seems to fit the classic mold:

A liberal’s job is to make mistakes; a conservative’s job is to ensure that the mistakes are never corrected.
