        I don't know when Mr. Wilhoit said this, but this has been true for decades. Perhaps centuries.

        I believe there is a prudential outlook on politics that could be termed 'conservative' and is far more defensible than the reactionary politics Wilhoit describes. 1/

        Replying to @CarringtonWard @HeerJeet

        Conservatives follow a self-centered ideology. Kato describes the approach to policy as how does it impact me, my family and those like me. Conservatives celebrate the fact that they are individuals and Wilhoit statement is consistent with _every_ GOP policy position.
