[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1676050, member: 2189"] That doesn't define conservative. Why don't you study the history of conservatism and from that maybe a clear definition of the word conservative might emerge. In fact, I'll give you a name to start with. Francois Rene de Chateaubriand is suggested as the person to first used the term conservative in a political framework. Chateaubriand along with Louis De Bonald in 1818' created the journal La Conservateur which advanced the use of the term conservative in its political sense. In the British sense study the Tories and Edmund Burke. Once you get a grasp of European political movements, then jump the pond and follow the development of American political movements. Our whole idea of left/right came from the french parliament so now noodle that one out. [/QUOTE]
