Progressives think we must abandon the past because it is an anchor to the stifling power structures of unenlightened times. Conservatives recognize that the real challenge is to strive for “constancy amid change.” 5th amendment property rights in an era not of land, but of IP. Sanctity of family when society no longer places a stigma on biblical immorality. Government spending of fiat currency. Yes, circumstances change, but the natural law does not. People change, but human flaws and weaknesses challenging us today were also present 4,000 years ago.
