“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.”

I've seen this quote many times, and to be frank, while I think the inherent statement is true, I think it's kind of ridiculous to say that it's the only proposition. There's so much more ridiculous and vile about conservatism than just how the law is applied.
