I think it's hard to keep the meaning of the word because it's not an ideology, as Kirk says, and the meaning can evolve. It's somewhat elusive. But I don't think it should be splintered into factions, which is what has happened.

Few people understand that conservatism doesn't mean standing still, for example. It doesn't mean wearing a three-piece suit and slipping pocketwatch in your vest.

This is a massive topic, actually. Interestingly, and not ironically (another severly misused word), I had searched amazon.com a while ago for conservative books and this one popped up: "Bob Cobb's Dittohead Bartender's Guide."

I guess this is where we are, eh?

Not all of us. Just the Dittoheads.
