Conservatism is the rock our country was built on.
This diary will be short. It was just something I was thinking about, and wanted to share.
Have you ever noticed how conservatives love to use earth imagery when talking about their movement. Conservatism is a bulwark against change.
Conservatives try to prevent progressives from eroding their freedoms. Conservatives are the salt of the earth. Conservatives want to turn back progressives. I find the metaphors interesting...
Especially when you consider that while the rock may turn back the tide, and the river banks may keep the course steady, it is only a temporary thing. The river determines its course, cuts the path, makes changes. The tide will alter the face of the cliff.
Progressives need to remind themselves that sometimes change takes time.
The water ALWAYS wins, and social conservatives are never on the right side of history.
This is not to be viewed as an excuse for inaction, but rather a call to always keep fighting.
