Fuck yeah absolutes! But really, Conservatives recognize that there will always be change in the world, but they don't go ahead making radical policies at the spur of the moment. One who just has change for the sake of change is doomed to failure. You need to know what works well with your government, and what has not worked well. You also have to observe the founding principles of which your country was built on. You should not make too many changes that would differ from those basic principles. Too promising and vague a word "change" is. People will, for the most part, always think that things can be better, because things always CAN be better. However, this hopefulness leads to people believing that all change is good change. Recall another famous democrat who was obsessed with "change". Jimmy Carter. He sure did "change" a ton of things, like changing our well working foreign policy, and gave up the rights to the panama canal, which we built ourselves. This "change" harmed us, and it is but one of many examples of what happens when you have change for the sake of change. Notice the example of Obama. He promises Change, and he mentions what he wants Change in, but he never really talks at detail the specifics of the "change" he will make. This is reckless and foolish. Yet change is such a poison-filled word, offering hope while neglecting any knowledge. Many people cling on to this hope, and what appears like a life boat may well be an anchor. So is it illogical to not be hasty about change? I think, given the examples in the past, that it is only logical to NOT be hasty about it. Change is like the element of sodium, handle it carelessly and it will explode. But, taking the proper time and precautions, like the conservatives do, it can become an improvement to the quality of human life.
