liberate tradtional loyalty

Finding the need to relax defenses is making many of my Republican friends consider that (as John Dean says) conservative has become as uncomfortable a word as liberal.
Libertarian may be the next center for contentment. At the beginning of the year the view of partisan bullshit made one commentator (Travis-T) offer McCain - Liberman versus Edwards - Ron Paul as solution for war or peace voting.
Then Obama and Clinton showed a trend of campaign civility that evolves world approach potential. Because the offensive versus defensive posturing is SO wasteful maybe WE could accept progressive social financing?
What conservatives have been willing to spend on defensive tools has betrayed the reality of their conservativeness. Traditions are becoming obsolete faster everyday.
