This is a subject I'm genetically qualified to comment on!

If you give some serious thought to the concept of conservatism, you realize that it's prone to produce sheeplike behavior. The resistance to new ideas and change produces the conformity of the herd, while the reverence for Authority results in a willingness to be led by the nose. How often have we heard the last-resort argument in defense of Dubya: "He's the President of the Yew-nited States, ya know, and we should show our respect for the office by blindly swallowing every damn thing he says!". Can a group of people who consider it treasonous to question The Preznit not be sheeplike?
