Conservatives, who love themselves for their morality over abortion and gay marriage, have been easy marks for the neocons who argue that pre-emptive war is not immoral. When it comes to a conflict between "defending the country" and violating the sovereignty of a country and unleashing a destructive and murderous war on it's population conservatives readily place the morality of such actions in second place, arguing the secular attitude that "it is for the greater good." Once again conservatives prove they are not against all immorality, but only against immorality which offends their feelings. Hardly the stuff of principle.
