So Conservatives are always going to be on the wrong side of history.

But that assumes that all "progress" is good. We've been around thousands of years. If all "progress" were good, we'd be living in Nirvana by now. And we're not. So I'm guessing that all that "progress" isn't a good thing.

This is true. All progress is not good but intelligent people learn from their mistakes and move on.

You don't get very far when you decide that a country has gone far enough and your solution is to try and stop time and live in the 1950's.

or the 1850's

Do you actually think you are making valid points?

At least it's not another race thread.

Name this country where modern (Americanized) conservatism is in effect and working.

This thread is pure, comedy, gold.

jonnyzerO please, by all means, keep dropping your 4/11 "knowledge" on all if us.

But not on the wrong side of Justice or Liberty... You're assuming all progression is good! That is as faulty an assumption as all conservation being bad/good.

I've seen this before "History will judge you"...

It's a 100% truism but it's relevance assumes (1) History is always recorded correctly and (2) all change is is good.

today you have your conservative, more religious party, that wants to block gay rights & womens rights. mostly located in the south they push for smaller govt, more states rights, and actively look for ways to weaken the federal govt or lower its total $$$$. Oh and they are hell bent on lower taxes.

Does that sound anything like the conservatives of the 1860s??????

to anything BUT a conservative political hick ==> it wouldn't.

Did you really just say that? I just wanna know where you guys come up with this whole "women's rights" thing, because I've NEVER seen or heard a story where a Conservative wanted to hold back the rights of a woman, and furthermore, the rights of a homo... I'll wait for an answer.

Just callin' out your hypocrisy brother.

John, the Civil War had nothing to do with civil rights. The Civil Rights Movement didn't start until the mid 1950's and peaked 100 years AFTER the Civil War was over. Just like racism, "civil rights" were unheard of in the 1860's. Those terms weren't familiar or relative back then.

Rather be wrong for the right reason than
right for the wrong reason. I think.

I post my own for comedy, home skillet. I was laughing at this one in the OP, nothing hypocritical about that. Keep rocking homie

John hates the south. Never been there, but hates it.

Reminds me of being in the Staten Island Mall in 2006. I had an Abita Beer Pub Crawl shirt from July of that year. It had the date and the location was several bars in New Orleans. I had a woman read me the riot act because the shirt wasn't funny. I said ma'am is it because it was a pub crawl and we drank ourselves silly and you don't believe in drinking. She said no it's because you act like New Orleans is fine, but I saw on CNN that New Orleans was destroyed in that Hurricane. You making light of it is just bad taste.

Try as I may to let her know I had been in New Orleans just a week prior and it was fine, I couldn't compete with the media.

In this story, John would be the woman. Only believes what he sees on the tv.

Kinda unrelated....but do people not familiar with say the state of Wiscompton think the whole state is essentially one large dairy farm with a bunch of pudgy white people everywhere? I always sense an e-vibe that a lot of people love them some stereotypes without actually ever been in said place whether it'd be the South, Southern Plains (aka Oklahoma), Wisconsin etc. (END RANT)

You surely don't have any knowledge on the matter. I made a statement about conservatism. Prove it wrong. I'm not holding much confidence in your ability.
