I guess you'd bring back slavery, take away a woman's right to vote. So how far back do you want to retreat? . ..

You do reallize that your post have become so absurd, that they are beyond provoking, and fall in the "dismiss" catagory. (?)

Nothing absurd about it at all. Had this conversation taken place in the 1850's, you would have heard the conservatives decrying the end of slavery and the horrible economic impacts. Every social change the liberals have brought about was fought tooth and nail by the conservatives at the time. Eventually, they accepted it and re-established a new defensive perimeter around the next cause. Slavery, women's sufferage, civil rights. You name it, they decried it, usually in the name of god and morality. There was even a time when the conservatives fought against the idea of the colonies throwing off British rule.
