Hey Jim... here is a prime example of what your great post was talking about yesterday!
LLS
"We have principles, we have values. They are the values that are shared by the majority of Americans, there's no question about it. But we have to now take those principles and values and apply them to the challenges that our country faces today and in the future. ...
"And then, hopefully - God willing - [we] embrace our conservative principles and take these new ideas and present them to the American people."
What could any conservative in his right mind possibly object to in these quotations?
