In the liberal mind, one believes "what/how IT should be" where the conservative mind reflects "what IS and how best to proceed". What is most distressing is that the mindset that wants the fantasy of how it should be, does not insert the same level of faith and truth. Somehow the fantasy exists and the truth can and will be amended to accommodate it. “Pure conservatism” translates to ‘realism’.

The ease with which many sacrifice their principles is telling as to the depth of their convictions. Conservatism--real and pure conservatism--will return when people have to endure pain brought to them by every other ideology which we are seeing right now.
