To be a conservative is actually quite a courageous position. One that requires a great deal of common sense and prudence and the willpower to stick to the tried and true over the new and popular. I'm talking about Burkian liberty here, not the crude populism of the Bush administration. Something that has nothing to do with conservatism in any philosophical sense.

Really, it still means you believe or at least give lip service to, the poppycock that Bush went into Iraq to spread democracy. The rest of it just shows your education without common sense is doing you a disservice with your conclusions.
