Conserve means follow rules now? Never heard that one. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

It's always been obvious. When you more often favor the status quo or the old ways of doing things, you definitely stick to more rule following in the long run. It has advantages, except when you actually need some real changes, then it is in the way. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Except the status quo is not what conservatism is. If it were then conservatives would have not wanted Roe overturned and supported draconian gun laws formerly in force in cities like DC. They would not favor school choice but prefer the status quo. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 217 Posts: 22942 | Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy that seeks to promote and to preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values. Do you think that implies change? Nope. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

That implies long term rule adhering, not radical breaks. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Only partly true as I pointed out above. Conservatives are about equality of opportunity. Liberals are about equality of outcome. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

That should be no problem at all. Shouldn't hardly make a dint in the budget. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

If you really are watching the auto news you will notice the last month or so some of these bans are getting scaled back. Typical cycle of rah-rah then the people on the tech side explain you cannot do this like you want to do it. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

If you can't sustain a 4x increase caloric intake, you die if you're a snow crab. Are they good at hiding, or going to all show up next year. I expect OG will point it out if it happens. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adf6035 "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |
