I am a joyful conservative, unafraid to articulate big ideas with an optimistic smile.

“Colonial legacies and international organizations have influenced today’s conservation complexities in Indonesia.”

Clinging to any form of conservatism can be dangerous. Become too conservative and you are unprepared for surprises. You cannot depend on luck. Logic is blind and often knows only its own past. Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.

“If you put a conservative in as insurance commissioner, I have no idea what he might do. You're having policy wonks, good-government types, meeting head on with movement conservatives. In politics, success breeds more interest.”

I have learnt through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world.

“In the last two or three weeks, there has been an increasing restlessness among conservatives, mostly about the open-ended (financial) response to Katrina, ... There's a growing number of conservative voters coming to the conclusion that Republicans have lost their way.”

“We must be both more conservative and more liberal than most students of Christian worship: conservative in holding exclusively to God's commands in Scripture as our rule of worship, and liberal in defending the liberty of those who apply those comma”

And this, this, is their genius. Conservatives are not looking to make education more rigorous and informative, or science more empirical or verifiable, or voting more representative, or the government more efficient or effective. They just want all those things to reinforce their partisan, ideological, conservative viewpoint.

“It showed a very significant impact that had not been done before, and those numbers are conservative.”

“At this point, anything they can do to limit their discretionary driving and conserve fuel would be helpful.”
