[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 906089, member: 7966"] While I rarely agree with you [B]804, [/B]I do appreciate the original thought and effort you put into your posts. I believe you hit nail right on the head when you described "Conservatism" as looking into the past to determine what worked well and repeating those approaches but also looking into the past and seeing what did not work and avoiding repeating those approaches. Of course, it is not an absolute so some new things do slip in past the absolute conservative. Thomas Jefferson was a liberal in his time because he rejected all previous forms of government and wanted the rule of a broader class of people rather than a Monarchy or Aristocratic rule. I say broader because if you were not a white male landowner, you were not part of his narrow class of a broader class. Perhaps this is the beginning of a new thread. [/QUOTE]
