Are you incapable of perceiving *anything* as something other than dogma, philosophy, and morality. There is more to life than those limited things. I'm remembering why I stopped talking with you. Every conversation had to be drawn into its relation to your "worldview" and how it was different than my "worldview". Twaddle.
You want to know why conservatives are a failure. Here it is:
They have become obsessed with their "worldview" to the point where nothing else matters or interferes with how they perceive politics and policy. Facts be come irrelevant to such people and their views become untethered from objective, observable reality. That's why they fail. It's the same reason the Communist states fell -- a fantasy version of important portions of society (in their case economics and human motivations).
Everybody has a worldview but what I really notice among most conservatives is a lack of flexibility or a refuse to put their worldview under scrutiny, or to entertain contrary ideas seriously and in good faith. Indeed, this goes against the spirit of conservativism fundamentally, since they believe so strongly in the value of "tradition", that it becomes the overriding concern that transvalues all other values.
