Progressivism is not a companion of reason or logic. Neither is conservatism. Strict adherence to any ideology is the purview of fools.

The fundamental difference between conservatism and progressivism is the view of government. How can one possibly lament the oppression met at the hands of powerful corporations and wealthy individuals in one breath and advocate for the creation of a greater power in the next? Isn't it obvious people are the problem. The more power a society cedes to government the more corrupt the government becomes due to inherent adverse selection.
