1. Todays so-called conservatives dont even know what the word means. They think Ive turned liberal because I believe a woman has a right to an abortion. Thats a decision thats up to the pregnant woman, not up to the pope or some do-gooders or the Religious Right. Its not a conservative issue at all.
~Barry Goldwater
2. I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.
~Alexis de Tocqueville
3. Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals.
~Mark Twain
4. Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.
~Benjamin Disraeli

~George Carlin
