Re: What we thought
Raoul,
You have to realize the comfort level for conservatives requires concepts be cast in stone and be immutable.
To realize that social institutions are dynamic and constantly evolving is taken as a threat to the quasi-religious positions of right wing capitalism and conservativism.
An example on these boards is the parroting of the simplistic interpretations of Ayn Rand and the equivalance of opposing views as being elitist, ignorant, or any other demeaning term Tom and Ed can find.
Times change, and political institutions change. The US has the unique ability for the people to be able to change them.
