Precisely why I don't call myself a conservative anymore but rather a "Restorationist". 'Conservative' defines one who is desirous of maintaining the status quo or of returning to the political situation of the recent past.
I think we've come too far for that and I don't think we can hope for much more than slowing down the headlong rush to the left that our government is taking by ordinary poitical means.
What does that mean? Can't say. My crystal ball is in the shop.
