Yea, using law was dumb. It's not a matter of law or tradition.Like what tradition?Let me start with Liberty. Liberty is a major part of every platform. No platform stands against it, except for the platform that only focuses on Liberty, Libertarians. They've gained a specific group of voters by making politics easier to understand and without so much homework and thinking. It's Liberty no matter what, no matter the topic. They can answer fast; Should bikers wear helmets? Should people wear seatbelts? Should we be able to smoke in public buildings? because the answer is always LIBERTY, HELL YEA WE SHOULD!. They don't understand that certain Liberties can directly affect the Liberties of others. I could give a million examples, but I love the simple "roosters in town" Libertarian topic. "HELL YES" is their perspective, naturally. "But it doesn't take a rooster to make an egg and most towns allow chickens. If they don't, that's a good debate, not roosters.
Conservative. (Less of) One definition of Conservative is, "Unwilling or unable to change" and it is spot on. But Conservative means more than that. We want to Conserve our Environment (Yep, not a Liberal thing). We want to Conserve our money. And we want a Conservative amount of Government. I want to rely on a Conservative amount of gasoline.
Liberal. (More of) One definition of Liberalism is more power and control by Government, and this is spot on. But Liberal means more than that. We want Liberal amounts of Freedom and no Oppression. We want a Liberal amount of THINKING. We want to limit the power of the State/Federal Government and give it to We The People.
All PARTIES should focus on Liberty, Conservation of the right things and Liberal actions on the right issues.
Conservative is not "unwilling or unable to change". That's the dumbest definition I have ever heard of. If we lived in a liberal society with liberal laws, we'd seek to change alot of them. If a liberal lives in a society with very progressive rules, they would be unwilling to change the laws.
Needless to say the rest of your post is the same kind of jibberish. If you want to know what conservatism really stands for, then ask a true conservative. Don't assume you know the causes of other political ideologies aside from your own because you obviously don't.
"Conservative is not "unwilling or unable to change". That's the dumbest definition I have ever heard of."
So you haven't seen anyone clinging to traditions of the past here in 2014?
Using law to prevent gays from getting married, is one.
Families invented marriage, society and history defined the definition of marriage.
Now the Marxist hiding as Democrats, the Democrats who are Lawyers, are doing what Marxist do, destroy the system they oppose.
Society defines government, government does not define society.
A war is brewing, as Democrats state, democrats believe Marxism will rise from the ashes of the revolution, first though, they must enrage the population against ourselves.
Marxism has won. Marxism is entrenched in our Republic, Marxism must be removed physically, not intellectually.
