Re: Meaning Of Conservative
Ringo asks of Buzzsaw:
So the status quo that the founders meant to conserve included slavery and no votes for women?
Yes, I don't think Dr. M.L.King would have characterized himself as a conservative. But Christian? Oh yeah, all the way, baby.
Indeed, what I, a mere commie pinko kneejerk libtard socialist feminist atheist croquet player, want to conserve the most is that aspect of the constitution of the U.S. government that allows it to change and morph into new forms when needed. This ability to change has to be preserved at all costs. On that I am very conservative! However, there may be several things that should not be changed (changing the word "men" to "intelligent life forms" is certainly okay with me, but all are still endowed with those certain inalienable rights - no matter what changes they try to make).
