I don't understand. The conservatives of revolutionary times were the Tories, sometimes joining the English forces to fight the rebels. You say, though, that this nation was FOUNDED on conservatism?!? Au contraire. The revolution, the Declaration, the creation of the republic and the constitution itself were the most radical, the most stunning leftist victories in history. As you note, these were REBELS, committing treason against the duly constituted government and crafting out of whole cloth the modern notions of individual rights and freedoms.


Liberals are the heirs of the Enlightenment, conservatives the heirs of the aristocracy.

Americans are morons. We have no memory. We have no wisdom. We have no shame. We will continue to commit political, economic and social suicide until the last billionaire scoops up the last pittance of the last wages of the last line worker and locks the gate on us all. - California Jane
