The conservative looks with alarm at attacks on the fundamental values and practices of Western Civilization (Does a "liberal" hate the fundamental values of American citizenship?)

This would seem to mean that the self-defined conservative has a narrow and myopic view of reality which can only mesh with their limited personal perspective and static viewpoint. A dynamic viewpoint is the only one that can be sustained. It is interesting that Sun Tzu (a philosopher and author of The Art of War) figured this out more than two and one half millennia ago. Having such a narrow viewpoint, based upon a historically stilted set of principles is as silly as when your teenager pronounces that they, with almost no experience, know better than you, with more experience.

While it would seem that some people eschew provincial and narrow viewpoints, recognizing that local viewpoints almost always seem distorted when viewed from a higher vantage point, others embrace unenlightened ones. It would be quaint and endearing if it wasn't so dangerously deluded.
