who are traditionalists
6 replies to this post. Conservatives are as about as much liberals as liberals are traditionalists. Conservatives embrace what was considered liberal in the distant past and forget how radical that liberalism once was. Meanwhile, liberals in a liberal society seek to defend the established traditions of liberalism. If we follow Ambrose Bierceâs definition of conservatives as âthose who are enamored of existing evils,â most American conservatives are not that!
