An African-American co-worker and friend of mine admitted that an online political test categorized her philosophies as "Conservative", which surprised her. I told her it is not uncommon to become more conservative with maturity.
A young man I've met recently expresses frustration at being challenged by his teachers to defend his Conservatism, resenting the fact that no students are ever challenged for being Progressive.
Are Conservatism and Liberalism just equally acceptable choices? (Obviously not to Progressive teachers!) Is it like preferring a car to a pickup, or an apartment to a house? It's not like there's a good or bad choice, right?
Wrong.
The definition of a Conservative is a person who is averse to change and holds to traditional values and attitudes, typically in relation to politics.
The definition of a Progressive is a person favoring or implementing social reform or new, liberal political ideas.
We live in the United States. Our nation was founded on a Constitution of Limited Government and Individual Reponsibility. If you don't want to "preserve, protect and defend" it - "conserve" it, in other words, then you are in the wrong country.
The intent and active plan of a citizen to overturn or sabotage a nation's government is called TREASON.
If you don't like our Judeo/Christian Foundations, Traditional Values and Republican Principles, you're in the wrong country. If your goal is to fundamentally transform the Foundations, Values and Principles of the United States, you are a traitor to your country. Move to a country that embraces Liberalism, Progressivism and Socialism or find a patch of land and start your own.
We were bequeathed a Constitutional Republic, and we intend to keep it.
