However, conservatism is based on logic and based on the rule of law.

Dang, I knew there was some reason we keep losing.

I think the problem is that many conservatives don’t always follow logic or the rule of law either, which is why conservatism has failed in the past.
Look at the previous Republican majority in Congress. They lost the faith of the people because they did NOT follow these principles (ie. contract with America).
Liberals never follow the rules, but they don’t really care either. They have few morals and don’t hold each other accountable to any moral standard. Of course, liberals are very emotionally based thinkers.
Conservatives on the other hand only fail when we follow in the liberal footsteps and show a disregard for the rules. Tthe conservative is always crucified by the libs and the conservatives every time the conservative is caught not following the rules (ie. Sanford affair vs. Clinton affair).
Conservatism only works when we all hold fast to our conservative values and follow logic and the rules.
