Neo, re >The core principle of conservatism? That moral values can be refined, but not superceded, and that we must uphold and defend certain values as being especially conducive to a civilized society.........< Sounds darn subjective to me, whose moral values should be refined?, who decides which values are especially conducive to civilized society? The majority? an enlightened elite? This is not a core principle, it is a modus operandi that assumes prior agreement on which values are better. I was expecting something along the lines of limited government and free markets but I guess that sounds too much like a libertarian position for you to espouse, eh? ggg And you avoided addressing the point that your characterization of libertarianism was totally innaccurate at best. Gotta go push snow now so will be unable to respond till tomorrow.
