Conservatives

*sigh*

Have you ever wondered why there is no such thing as a 'Conservative International'?

Heh, thats because conservatives are too busy fighting with each other to be able to agree on anything.

It seems that conservatives from opposing parties always seems to be at each other's throats and not realise that if they took the effort to understand the views of one another to achieve greater goals together.

Or then again, perhaps i'm one helluva idealistic liberal.

I have come into several conservatives in my relatively short time on this earth.

One one hand, i appreciate that its more often the conservatives that reaffirm the rule of law and the standards of morality, but on the other hand it seems that they will disagree on the most inane, obscure of topics. Even small matters like movies and certain articles are pounced upon by them and if not to their liking, they will rip it apart with little regard with the feelings of others.

Perhaps their strengths lie in their abilities to appeal to niche groups of supporters. Generally conservatives tend to be based upon religion or race or any particular ideology. They also tend to make verbose promises to forward the interests of that group.

Conservatives are a popular group to leverage upon, however they can be very volatile and they would no sooner turn their back on you as soon as you conflict with their ideas.

It would be interesting to learn the arts of harnessing the powers of the conservatives without having it blow up in my face
