What is Conservatism? (ANOTHER MUST READ...)

"This explains why under the umbrella of conservatism you will find hard-core Christian fundamentalists, laissez-faire libertarians, and strict Constitutionalists. This diversity of thought is the strength of the conservative movement — many different approaches to the problems at hand. (Notice how conservative governors of various states have taken different paths toward improving education, for example.) Unfortunately, their opponents can demagogue and cajole this diverse grouping into arguing among themselves. It then becomes easier for the media and others to paint the conservatives as too fractious to be relied upon for any problem solving. Of course, their answer then becomes looking once more to Washington."

The person who wrote this is the same person who wrote the one on liberalism. This person does a good job explaining the differences between the two philosophies. :-)
