indeed they do. they also fight tooth and nail to preserve their traditions.

that's conservative, ted.

Because change is hard, it upsets the status quo. It's much easier to keep doing things the same way we always have.

In the United States it does because we embrace capitalism and have since the conception of this nation.

This STILL is a capitalist nation despite the hijacking by liberal socialists.

Say liberals succeed in creating a socialist nation THEN they would become the conservatives by definition.

Because they're racist. Wait no, that's not right.

People are opposed to change in a variety of areas for a variety of different reasons. I am opposed to change of decency standards on television. I'm not talking hardcore FCC Nazi where a Super Bowl mishap or and actor using the word bitch in a cop show gets me up in arms, but advertising sex toys is over the line.

Take people with various beliefs where they feel the way that it is is better than any other way it could be and it's pretty simple.

There is something hypocritical about EVERY liberal issue.

They are all hypocritical..

Your the fucking party that thinks it perfectly fine to fight "oppression" by "oppressing" people.

Everything liberals stand for is hypocritical because nothing they stand for has any foundation. Everything liberals stand for is based on OTHERS actions and policy.

Liberalism is a counter to conservativism.

holy generalization, batman

edit: although to be fair, that gross over-generalization was in response to another gross over-generalization.

Conservatives around the world have varying beliefs etc, but the only constant is the necessity to be hypocrites to justify their behavior.

In the middle east it's ok for men to have sex before marriage, but women can be put to death for it.

In America conservatives get their panties in a bunch about small government but then want to pass legislation to regulate what happens in the bedroom.

Like I said, the only constant tenet that conservatives truly believe in is hypocrisy.

So are you saying that someone doesn't want change because they don't want to put in the effort?

Why would someone not want to upset the status quo?

Ignoring the fact that I'm not a member of any affiliated party, I'll address your rant if only to enlighten you...

Ending slavery, making cars safer, ensuring that food & medicine were properly labelled, fighting for our right to become an independant nation, and ending racially motivated segregation: conservatives in America opposed all these things.

Yes liberalism is indeed counter to repressive policies advocated by conservatives in this country.

Do you know what generalization means?

If there is a group of 100 people and 51 of them are black it would be appropriate for someone to call the ENTIRE group black...

Its scientific law for fucks sakes..

I love how the left frowns on generalization as if its premise is some how evil.
