Conservatives Who Demanded We ‘Listen To’ And ‘Stand Behind’ Gen. Petraeus Now Disregard Him

Ironically, one the virtues of being "conservative" is changing when the circumstances dictate.

I guess that was the point of this thread, to demonstrate that conservatives are actually flexible and open minded.

Actually Ive never heard someone define conservative in that way......at least not since the days of Eisenhower.

Flexible and Openmindedness is not something i think anyone would accuse any mainstream conservative of in this era.

Now callous, stuck in their ways and politically mischievous to those that dont support their version of reality - now that description i can get behind.


......though that description is probably apt for many on the other side as well.
