It's NOT about the word. Don't the rats know the conservatives hold themselves to a 'higher standard'? Therefore, they use it against us time and time again - and it isn't ONLY speech.

Just look at the world we live in - how did it get that way? Who allowed it? While the 'higher standard' crowd sat quietly by so not to rock the boat. Always obedient. When the rats aren't in power they still call the shots. Conservatives - well we are just 'too conservative' to do anything. We know right from wrong but we are just too conservative to do anything about it - after all, we don't want to stoop to their level - is always a feel good response. We will have our say at the ballot box in a few years. Yawn.

We know right from wrong but we are just too conservative to do anything about it

So is conservatism just about obtaining power by any means? Do we not believe any more in the power of good? If not, then there really isn't a conservative movement any more, just a different set of political opportunists.
