A conservative is one who sells the mistakes of yesterday as solutions for tomorrow.

What conservatives want to conserve is the illusion of a past golden age, so that all the problems that were hidden behind the facades can be ignored.

The only thing conservative politicians want to conserve is their power - secured and expanded by all means.

The only moral all conservatives follow: forgive the sins of fellow conservatives.

If the words in the block are from elsewhere could you supply the citation? Thanks.

If they are yours, then they are very pithy.

The first I read in a letter to the editor in some German magazine at least ten years ago, sadly I forgot exactly where. And it sounded even more pithy in German (something like Die Union [CDU] verkauft Fehlentwicklungen von gestern als Lösungen für morgen), I remember struggling to get a good English translation. The third I'd consider a common phrase in various forms. The other two are entirely mine.
