as soon as you interject rationalism, intelligence, sympathy, and personal experience into any faucet in the conservative ideology, the principle in question is immediately quelled ie;
-this currant economic state; proving regulation and oversight are needed as oppose to a "free" market approach
-this currant environmental state; despite the cause, everyone now realizes we need to be more environmentally conscious
-now water-boarding, so many conservatives at first calling us the "whiners" for what they now realize was rationalism
Throughout history the mentality that is known presently as "conservatism" has always chosen tradition over intelligence and has viewed intelligence as an "evil" counter to the "benevolent" tradition. The irony is that Liberals have done more for the people of this country than conservatives and the only obstacle that ever stood in the way of such progress was a conservative agenda.
