Clearly Waitingforgodel was talking about, y'know conservative people - with a conservative general mindset that extends into politics - and not progress-loving, ultra-capitalist right-wingers that get lumped in as "Conservatives". The distinction looks obvious enough to me.
And I'm not at all convinced that we should prefer the latter's enthusiasm to the former's anger.
That's because you're a Burkean socialist. That distinction is not obvious to a large part of the population.
We ought to be more savvy than the general public in most regards, though, shouldn't we?
My point is that the distinction might not have been obvious to Waitingforgodel.
Yeah, well, in that case it's more evidence that he wasn't acting very sensibly :)
