Tread lightly on the things of earth

I hope this is true (on the wonder and warmth of sane conservatives speaking out against Republican political/fiscal/moral insanity):

A tacit distinction between “conservative” and “republican” has already worked its way into the zeitgeist, probably because true conservatives recognize the damage being wrought under their mantle and are rightfully horrified.

I have observed this phenomenon first-hand in microcosm, but hadn’t dared hope it’s entered the Zeitgeist. O frabjous day! Though dimmed by tears of loss and sadness, [maybe] this marks the renewal of a healing peristalsis.

Thanks, Cedwyn.
