I think that conservatives come in different stripes. David Gergen was one of my favorite conservatives and he was active in the Clinton Adminstration. He was articulate and open-minded.

Then some liberals are close-minded and dogmatic.

I tend toward socialist views but know that within that circle are some of the most disagreeing people in the world as to what that is.

As to young conservatives, I think it depends upon how well they are able to think for themselves without parroting the party line.
