What's The Appeal of Conservatism?

[downbeatplumb]

In America, the prime motive is fear.

Where danger isn't real, ones can be made up. Just look at the hysteria over the health care debate. Death panels? Seriously?

The english tory party has learnt the fear lesson from the american republicans, but our big blue meanie is the deficit "which the labour party left them"

I watched a particularly odious example explain how the tories were the natural party of government the other day, it was all I could do not to put my foot through the screen.
