Talk:Conservative parables (view source)
Revision as of 03:33, October 30, 2011
, 03:33, October 30, 2011→The idea that innovation is a conservative trait is patently false: reply
:::I see above that liberalism is all about government control, despite the fact that anarchy and rebellion from authority are also liberal traits. I also see through links that abolitionism was a conservative movement, despite the fact that many of the supporters of the movement were socialists (such as Horace Greely) or exhibited other liberal traits (Thaddeus Stevens voted for public schools and other social programs). This is rather disturbing, are we rewriting the history books to help conservatism? Surely every major milestone and achievement can't be laid at conservatism's doorstep? I mean, c'mon, it's a great ideology, but it's made up of people and therefore cannot be perfect as people themselves aren't perfect.

Originality is inherently conservative, while liberals tend to copy ... and mock. Jesus was an original; his detractors mocked Him. Fosbury was an original; his detractors mocked him. Edison was conservative, and I can't think of anything Buffet did that was truly original. The US Constitution was original and innovative. Etc.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:33, 29 October 2011 (EDT)
