The problem is that inclusiveness of other values and opinions IS NOT rejection of the fundamental values that all Americans hold and which are properly understood as "values and practices of Western Civilization"
To you, it's not. That's the point. Either you think Western Civilization trumps everything or you don't. It's not that you reject those values, it's that you don't hold them to be unequivocably superior and without challenge.
Have you thought of taking up the law in your retirement. You have the gift, Karen!
Watch it, buster.
So do liberals...traditionalist or otherwise...
Perhaps I wasn't clear. Conservatives get upset at a challenge to tradition independent of the substance of that tradition. If it's traditional, it's good. If it's a new-fangled idea, it's bad, don't even describe it. I'm overstating here to try to get the point across, not because the scenario is that extreme.
I suppose that conservatives and liberals both support and oppose controversial issues...:-)
No, conservatives support only time honored traditions, never controversial issues.
Thanks for joining in, Karen.
Always glad to help, or amuse, or whatever. |
