<<why anyone would be a conservative. What is their philosophy? The Constitution.>> The constitution is open to many interpretations. That is why the supreme court votes 5/4 so often. It was also written at the very beginning of mankinds experimentation with democracy. A republic if you prefer. Same thing. The constitution was established as an organic document. Something liberals understand well, but conservatives seem to have no sense of? Now the conservatives don't like to look at that part. The constituion originally allowed slavery and denied women the right to vote. Should we go back to slavery and denying women the right to vote ? And does that not show the constitution is a work in progress.
