In the dark ages I was proud to support the conservative teachings that the ancient Romans and Greeks had learned all there was to be learned. When Galileo claimed his outlandish theory that the Earth was not the center of the universe, I was proud to stand by my conservative brothers and cheer when he was put in his place by the Church.
In the 1700?s I was proud to support the Divine Right Of Kings. After all, it was the way things should be. I was proud to keep serfdom the way of life we had all come to know.
When the idea that man had certain inalienable rights such as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, was put forth, I scoffed at the outlandish notion.
When liberal ?thinkers? said women should have the ?right? to vote, I marched in protest, and quoted the best conservative thinkers of the day.
When liberals proposed the 40 hour work week and child labor laws, I proudly proclaimed they would destroy society.
When liberals wanted to regulate the financial markets, I was at the forefront of voting them down. After all, I could quote the greatest conservative thinkers of the 1920?s who said the stock market would never fail.
When the world armed for war, I was sure that isolationism would protect America, and we could never be affected by a foreign war.
When liberals said black people should have equal rights and even the right to vote, well, I knew that was nonsense and would destroy America.
When liberals said cigarettes were bad for me, I could quote many scientific studies, funded openly or secretly by our finest cigarette manufacturers, that they were perfectly safe.
When liberals wanted to give people of different races the right to marry, I was sure it was the end of western civilization.
When some people wanted to end discrimination against gays, I knew in my conservative heart that it would end in disaster.
When.....
Well, I guess that should be enough to show how right conservatives always are...
