You obviously don’t know the meaning of analogy.
And conservatives are called conservatives for a reason - we’re reluctant to accept new ideas - and that’s fine to be cautious but sometimes we go overboard.
As I said, i’ve gotten my shots. If it was as awful as you think I would be on a respirator right now.
Stop being a Luddite - it gives conservatives a bad rep.
Well, that's a first.
My mama said that 'conservative' meant 'to conserve (or preserve) time tested and proven traditions, values, and practices.
I think you made that up.
And calling someone a 'Luddite' doesn't make them one.
But it sure does sound clever, I'll give you that.
Conservatives Defined.
_____________
You use the definition of conservative incorrectly. I flatter myself in position to correct you but no worries, I know words change and often times I understand why it is happening. The idea was “conserving” (as agrees with your definition) at that time what are the now long gone principles of Creator endowed liberty. The position had been known in the 19th century as liberalism, and even today, by Dennis Prager for example, is sometimes called classical liberalism.
Adlai Stevenson made the same mistake, when he said that he loved conservatives though he disagreed with them. He needed conservatives to conserve the democratic gains of the new deal. If so then we must dump the term for what we are, revolutionary radicals!
In linguistics we call it the “etymological fallacy” which is a hard one for people to see since the etymology often does and always ought to control the definition.
I am not worried about terminology, I am worried that we are so far removed from any hope of restoring our constitution.
I was also interested in your use of “Luddite” which is an unusual term as it is meant as an insult and the receiver takes no umbrage at it.
FReegards!
