7. here is my question: how can any conservative position be called an "ideal"?

after all, isn't conservatism, by defination, simply refusing to do anything? Don't they want to dismantle the federal government and roll back social progress?

I mean, yes, you could describe them somewhat as "ideals", but it is laughable.

Imgagine:

"I envision a world where nothing will have changed since 1900"

"When I picture tomorrow, I try to imagine it like it was fifty years ago!"

"I will work for a government that doesn't do anything for anyone anywhere!"

Yeah, those are idealistic principles right there....
