Conservativism is the Land of Myths, peopled by the myth-makers and myth true believers.
The people in the Land of Myths, both the makers and the believers, will swear that the myths are true. Gospel in fact! They are so certain in their myths that they will tell you they are never wrong. But aha, that's the mastery of the myth-makers, their wordsmithing, phrase-turning and disinformation at work... where the truth is actually the opposite of what they say it is. Where "up" is down, and "right" is wrong, and the "clear skies" initiative is a giveaway to air polluters, and "healthy forests" means allowing timber companies to clear-cut at will, and the "Heartland Institute" springs from the mindset of polluters whose interests may well devastate the actual American heartland, and the "Patriot" Act is a wanton shredding of American freedom, and "small business" is code for Big Business, and "middle class" includes multi-millionaires, and "job creators" means vulture capitalists shipping jobs overseas, and "elite" means bad, and "Christian" means disregarding everything Jesus said. And, of course, the honorable term "liberal" means downright un-American.
The sad reality is that conservatives are forever wrong
