Because I’ve never heard a real conservative call themselves “rock ribbed.”
other people might describe me “rock ribbed,” or some leftist relatives of mine might even consider me an “extremist” conservative.
I consider myself well-reasoned, rational and mainstream
Such comments like “I am a die hard conservative!” are simply slogans used as teasers to then try and convince you some asinine idea should be acceptable to conservatives.

Possible, but sometimes it’s just as likely we don’t know what we think we know.
Leave you with this, (nothing personally implied) “People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs..... yet they think it’s all true. “People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”
