I always get a little put off by cons harking back to the good ol` days. Of segregation and lynchings,red-lining and discrimination,lead paint and asbestos,anti-misogyny laws and a glass ceiling covered with concrete,back before child labor laws and the 40 work-week, when if you couldn`t work are were broke,you basically slowly starved. "conservative" by its very nature seems to attract "traditionalists" because they want to "conserve" what they see as their past and cultural traditions. It is a fairly rose colored view of the past, and sometimes completely revisionist. People made the same mistakes since the dawn of time, otherwise their bible wouldn't be relevant to them anymore, would it? To glorify people of the past as somehow being more honorable, honest, less greedy, more moral, etc etc etc is just irrational
