But there is a difference between “old” and “time-tested.” In 1929, influential thinker Gilbert Keith Chesterton spoke of “modern reformers” who see an old fence or gate and say, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.”

I ran across a similar quote that said, "Never tear down a fence until you know why it was put up." To me, that is the essence of conservatism. Social norms and values evolved over thousands of years to be a certain way for specific reasons . . . reasons we may have forgotten. Wrecking that logical and thoughtful evolution of behavior is a highly reckless, arrogant and egotistical endeavor . . . some, like me, would say foolish. In that vein, I view most leftists as undisciplined morons.

“I view most leftists as undisciplined morons.”

Actually I cannot imagine a two word description that would be more accurate.
