I find very few Conservative worrying about what our forefathers would say. Most of them, IMHO, worry about how it will affect their pocketbook more.

On some issues, it certainly is true that Conservatives want to take a literal view of forefather documents while Liberals see a changing document.

How on earth did the Conservatives ever let women have the right to vote, because that surely was never in any forefather's mind? Nor was the idea of ending slavery.

Both of those changes came from a changing liberal view.
