Conservative and Conservation

[manifold]

It's quite ironic that they share the same root word.

Can anybody tell us why?

 

[manifold]

I guess not.


But whatcha gonna do?

It's quite ironic that they share the same root word.

Can anybody tell us why?

Its not ironic at all.

Well, that is if you understand why conservatives are referred to as conservatives.

Conservative does not mean the opposite of liberal from an ideological standpoint.....it means wanting to CONSERVE the way it was (is).....

I disagree. IMO it's that understanding that makes it ironic as fuck.

Or wanting to CONSERVE the amount the middle class is allowed to earn?.......Just a thought.

 

[Vaard]

they both are a form of conserve......

"to keep, preserve, keep intact, guard"

conservatives are supposed to be resistant to change and keep to the "old ways" of doing things

conservation is to keep the environment intact the way it was found........

Yes there are some thing conservatives believe should stay in tact, values and character being a couple. Being conservative does not mean we are against change, it merely means don't kill the cow after you milk it.

And I agree 100% we are not the opposite of Liberal, we are just different.

The way it was (is) when?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Look at just 2 examples at where Conservatism and Liberalism grow side by side: North and South Korea, East and West Germany.

The Liberal side is filth, destitution and poverty; the Conservative side is clean, and prosperous.

Look at how the Liberal OWS crowd treat Zucotti Park, compare that to any Tea Party Rally.

The irony is that this doesn't describe the lion share of politicians who call themselves conservative. Perhaps those that still feel this way should call themselves Preservatives. It's actually a better word to describe that position than conservative ever was.

so national healthcare (south korea and germany), massive entitlement programs (south korea and germany) and gay marriage (germany) are now examples of conservative countries?

And don't forget nationalized unions too.

Way to ignore the point that punched you in the face.

If you disagree then you are a dumbass.

Conservatives by definition are those that are resistant to change and whose views are based on historical norms.

Nice comprehension fail skippy.

I know that's what the definition means, but it doesn't come anywhere close to describing the political platform of today's so-called conservatives. Are you going to tell me that today's Liberals conform to the dictionary definition of liberal? If so, you're the dumbass buddy. No offense.

Silly, baiting question. Not worthy of an answer.....other than the answer of "that is a silly baiting question and not worthy of an answer"

Silly response that shows you how naive you are as to the sentiments of the true conservative politicians out there.
Even you used the term "so called" conservative politicians.

True conservatives do not see the "so called" conservatives as conservatives.

 

[Si modo]

Conservatives about what? Social issues? Fiscal issues? The Constitution?


Ask folks who are viewed as 'Cons' about those three issues and your response will be quite varied.

And, it's fun watching the idiots who do put "Cons" into a single box get surprised when the person doesn't fit their assumptions.
