How socialist will 'conservative' become?--By Alan Keyes "...Conservatives who vote for the Romney/Ryan ticket will have to believe in not one, but two, possibly cynical and provably improbable "conversions" that, in each case, reversed a long-standing commitment to ideas that are demonstrably contrary to America's founding principles. If Romney/Ryan wins and it turns out that they have not changed, the politically motivated but false proclamation that they are principled conservatives will invest them with all the credibility they need to gut the meaning of the conservative brand forever.
When evil wins an election, that is a battle lost. But what if victory in a political battle leaves the constituents of that victory cut off from the understanding that inspires the cause for which they fight? That is the post-Pyrrhic victory by which they are undone. And if such a victory for "conservatives" is in fact what the elitist faction engineering the 2012 election has in mind, how socialist will "conservative" become?"
