Question

What was the fundamental difference between progressive and conservative Republicans?

Answer 1

When caught at something, it’s best to come clean. I was recently caught by the Crow, who — in a response to my earlier post about power outages and our politics of powerlessness — saw and asked outright the obvious question I’ve been hinting at for some time.

Answer 2

Conservatives were more concerned with protecting the nation’s economic interests than progressives were.
