The Republican party was definitely not a Conservative party in the middle of the 19th century. Don't try hiding behind the skirts of political party when political ideology is discussed. Have you ever studied history or political science?Liberals will always try to solve problems. Of course, some of the solutions beget their own problems, but that is to be expected. No solution is 100% foolproof.
Conservatives will always deny there are social problems. That's because solving social problems by way of government action is anathema to Conservatives. Poverty, hunger, lack of education or opportunity are all situations the much beloved and often excused private sector is supposed to handle.
Conservatives see only political problems. And often those problems are of Conservative heritage to begin with. Conservatives claim to love, make that LOVE the constitution, right up to the point someone tries to avail themselves of constitutional rights and protections. Listening to Conservatives, one might think that they would harken back to what they see as a "Golden Age" of American constitutional adherence. To wit: no paved roads, rum used as an anesthetic and only White, property owning males eligible to vote.
And then they ask "What's wrong with Liberals?"
Amazin', ain't it?
"Conservatives will always deny there are social problems."
So...you never studied history?
For primers, check out the reason the Republican Party was formed to counter the slavery party, the Democrats.

This is what psychologists refer to as "projecting". In other words, turn your vices into virtues and blame someone else with the faults you have cultivated.could you cite specific instances where Conservatives were in the vanguard of social change? Where were the Conservatives on Jim Crow, or slavery itself? Where were the Conservatives on women's suffrage, on child labor, on collective bargaining rights, on environmental issues, on pay equality or Gay Rights?Liberals will always try to solve problems. Of course, some of the solutions beget their own problems, but that is to be expected. No solution is 100% foolproof.

One thing common to each generation is that Conservaives will be against change. They were against the founding of our country, against the abolition of slavery, against equal rights, against environmental protections
One thing is common with conservatives....they are on the wrong side of history
"...Conservaives will be against change."
False.
1) Conservatives believe that custom and tradition result in individuals living in peace. Law is custom and precedent. Liberals are destroyers of custom and convention. To a conservative, change should be gradual, as the new society is often inferior to the old. We build on the ideas and experience of our ancestors. The species is wiser than the individual (Burke).
2) Liberals are impulsive, and imprudent. They believe in quick changes, and risk new abuses worse than the ‘evils’ that they would sweep away, since remedies are usually not simple. Plato said that prudence is the mark of the statesman. There should be a balance between permanence and change, while liberals see ‘progress’ as some mythical direction for society.
If we accept the clumsy assertion that Conservatives are not opposed to change, what changes have Conservatives championed?
The Liberals of yesterday are the Conservatives of today. Liberal/Socialists did not end slavery, defeat Jim Crow, or give women the right to vote. Liberal/Socialists sail under false colors and attempt to take credit for everything they consider good, but had little to do with securing.

Sorry, but yet again, and not surprisingly, you confuse party affiliation with political ideology. Republican does not always equal Conservative in American history just as Democrat does not always equal Liberal. The advances in Civil Rights came from Liberal, both Republican and Democrat.

No problem!
1.One reason that Richard Nixon chose Spiro Agnew as VP, was that he had passed some of the nation’s first bans on racial discrimination in public housing- before federal laws. He had beaten Democrat segregationist George Mahoney for governor of Maryland in 1966.
Agnew enacted some of the first laws in the nation against race discrimination in public housing. “Agnew signed the state's first open-housing laws and succeeded in getting the repeal of an anti-miscegenationlaw.” Spiro Agnew - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
2. Even with a Democratic President behind the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, a far greater percentage of Republicans (82%) voted for it than Democrats (66%). Nay votes included Ernest Hollings, Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr., J. William Fulbright, and Robert Byrd.
3 . Eisenhower may have felt as his fellow Republican and soldier Senator Charles Potter did when he stood on crutches in the well of the Senate—he lost both legs in World War II —and denounced the Democrats for refusing to pass a civil rights bill. “Ifought beside Negroes in the war,” Potter said. “I saw them die for us. Forthe Senate of the United States to repay these valiant men . . . by a watered down version of this legislation would make a mockery of the democratic concept we hold so dear.”

In his second term, Eisenhower pushed through two major civil rights laws and created the Civil Rights Commission—over the stubborn objections of Democrats. Senator Lyndon Johnson warned his fellow segregationist Democrats, “Be ready to take up the goddamned nigra bill again.” Liberal hero, Senator Sam Ervin told his fellow segregationists, “I’m on your side, not theirs,” adding ruefully, “we’ve got to give the goddamned ******* something.”

4. 1966 Republican Bo Calloway ran against Democrat Lester Maddox, who “gained national attention for refusing to serve blacks in his popular cafeteria near the Georgia Tech campus. Newsmen tipped off about the confrontation reported how restaurant patrons and employees wielded ax handles while Mr. Maddox waved a pistol. …”

BTW....Maddox was endorsed by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the above governor’s race. When the race was too close to call, the Democrat state legislature gave it to Maddox.
Calloway appealed to the Supreme Court….but the court upheld the legislature’s decision.
Continuing on the theme that you suggested, Jim Crow...on that very Supreme Court was former KKK member Justice Hugo Black.
Democrat Hugo Black was Democrat FDR’s first appointee, in 1937. This KKK Senator from Alabama wrote the majority decision on Korematsu v.

2) Liberals are impulsive, and imprudent. They believe in quick changes, and risk new abuses worse than the ‘evils’ that they would sweep away, since remedies are usually not simple. Plato said that prudence is the mark of the statesman. There should be a balance between permanence and change, while liberals see ‘progress’ as some mythical direction for society.
If we accept the clumsy assertion that Conservatives are not opposed to change, what changes have Conservatives championed?could you cite specific instances where Conservatives were in the vanguard of social change? Where were the Conservatives on Jim Crow, or slavery itself? Where were the Conservatives on women's suffrage, on child labor, on collective bargaining rights, on environmental issues, on pay equality or Gay Rights?One thing common to each generation is that Conservaives will be against change. They were against the founding of our country, against the abolition of slavery, against equal rights, against environmental protections
One thing is common with conservatives....they are on the wrong side of history
"...Conservaives will be against change."

No problem!
1.One reason that Richard Nixon chose Spiro Agnew as VP, was that he had passed some of the nation’s first bans on racial discrimination in public housing- before federal laws. He had beaten Democrat segregationist George Mahoney for governor of Maryland in 1966.
Agnew enacted some of the first laws in the nation against race discrimination in public housing. “Agnew signed the state's first open-housing laws and succeeded in getting the repeal of an anti-miscegenationlaw.” Spiro Agnew - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
2. Even with a Democratic President behind the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, a far greater percentage of Republicans (82%) voted for it than Democrats (66%). Nay votes included Ernest Hollings, Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr., J. William Fulbright, and Robert Byrd.
3 . Eisenhower may have felt as his fellow Republican and soldier Senator Charles Potter did when he stood on crutches in the well of the Senate—he lost both legs in World War II —and denounced the Democrats for refusing to pass a civil rights bill. “Ifought beside Negroes in the war,” Potter said. “I saw them die for us. Forthe Senate of the United States to repay these valiant men . . . by a watered down version of this legislation would make a mockery of the democratic concept we hold so dear.”

In his second term, Eisenhower pushed through two major civil rights laws and created the Civil Rights Commission—over the stubborn objections of Democrats. Senator Lyndon Johnson warned his fellow segregationist Democrats, “Be ready to take up the goddamned nigra bill again.” Liberal hero, Senator Sam Ervin told his fellow segregationists, “I’m on your side, not theirs,” adding ruefully, “we’ve got to give the goddamned ******* something.”

4. 1966 Republican Bo Calloway ran against Democrat Lester Maddox, who “gained national attention for refusing to serve blacks in his popular cafeteria near the Georgia Tech campus. Newsmen tipped off about the confrontation reported how restaurant patrons and employees wielded ax handles while Mr. Maddox waved a pistol. …”

BTW....Maddox was endorsed by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the above governor’s race. When the race was too close to call, the Democrat state legislature gave it to Maddox.
Calloway appealed to the Supreme Court….but the court upheld the legislature’s decision.

Remember you wrote "Have you ever studied history or political science?"
Looks like the laughs on you, huh?
One would think you might heed my advice about confusing party with ideology. But what we have seen from you is the stubborn, feckless reasoning of a bitter partisan.
Squirm all you like....you've been put in your place.
"The opposition came from Conservatives."
This is a laugh.
Every major Democrat was a segregationist.....up to and certainly including Bill 'the rapist' Clinton.
My God but getting information through that vast wasteland of a brain pan you have is exhausting! Political ideology does not couple up well with party identity. 'Twas ever thus in American history. Only a ham handed revisionist and bitter partisan could cling to the slender reed of your poorly crafted arguments.Sorry, but yet again, and not surprisingly, you confuse party affiliation with political ideology. Republican does not always equal Conservative in American history just as Democrat does not always equal Liberal. The advances in Civil Rights came from Liberal, both Republican and Democrat. The opposition came from Conservatives. Unless you want us all to believe that characters like Lest Maddox were, in reality, tree hugging, Birkenstock wearing Kumbya singing Liberals.could you cite specific instances where Conservatives were in the vanguard of social change? Where were the Conservatives on Jim Crow, or slavery itself? Where were the Conservatives on women's suffrage, on child labor, on collective bargaining rights, on environmental issues, on pay equality or Gay Rights?"...Conservaives will be against change."

Ah the old everybody lies defense, FAIL!
The OP is so chock full of logical fallacies, one does not know where to start.
But in other news... I saw a tard who believes she is a right winger start a topic with an opening post that was so full of logical fallacies, I had to ask, "What is wrong with ALL right wingers that makes them so retarded and hateful and bigoted?"
Still other news...I saw a video of a guy teaching a nine year old girl how to shoot a gun. The little girl accidentally blew his brains out. I should have started a topic, "What is wrong with all gun owners that makes them so retarded?"
You can see the same old tired recipe in every PoliticalChic topic.
"I saw this one guy who did this one thing, and decided to start this topic where I create a big a quantity of straw men fallacies as I can."
Rights are still rights...they are not subject to a vote of the majority
Change is a funny thing....you have to use any means available
Yeah, like the Constitution and Bill of Rights.No,we piss on liberal ideology.Speaking for the founders? Did they really go around spitting on people? Sounds like a conservative thing.
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are products of Enlightenment Era Classical Liberalism...which is not at all related to present day Progressive Liberalism.
A liberal is a liberal.....is a liberal
The issues and challenges of each era may change.....but liberals remain the same
Unfortunately, so do conservatives
wrong again, Norton. today's liberalism is yesterday's tyranny. Today's liberalism is yesterday's monarchies. today's conservatism if the philosophy of the founders of this great nation--------------freedom and personal responsibility, and an unintrusive federal government.
Ah the old everybody lies defense, FAIL!
So "all Liberals lie" is a great argument, but "all people lie" is a rubbish argument?
Reminds of me South Park with the difference between farting for the boys and whatever the hell they called the girl vag farting thing.
lefties do the same thing...Rights are still rights...they are not subject to a vote of the majority
Change is a funny thing....you have to use any means available
Unless of course the rights are for gay people, in which case the right will have a referendum to make sure gay people don't get the rights.

There are lots of referenda, and when the people speak, Liberal judges simply throw the results out.
How far behind can re-education camps and gulags be?
Liberals repeatedly tell whopper lies even after those lies have been pointed out to them, and not some obscure liberals the very leaders in the Democratic party. They lie intentionally, they lie with purpose. To try to excuse that behavior with the "all politicians lie" excuse is pretty lame. I point out a liberal lie and instead of discussing the lie liberals deflect with this everybody lies crap. Hence I have virtually no reason to speak with a liberal let alone negotiate with one or try to reach a compromise. They can all pound sand as far as I'm concerned. When they stop excusing the lies and start holding their own accountable call me, I won't hold my breath though.
lefties do the same thing...
Funny how authoritarians from both sides are good with referendums to control the lives of the other side.
