well, in the end, for at least some conservative---not all, mind you---but some conservatives, what politics is about is identity. it's not what you think about situations, what policies might coherently address those situations--no no--it's about "being conservative"--and so is a matter of identity.
it's funny the extent to which an abstract categorization of oneself can be allowed to condition how one sees the world that is not oneself.
