It’s Sunday, there are 40 pilgrims out and more showing up. 20 years ago you wouldn’t see 40 different people surfing here in a month. No fish either.Isn't longing for a better vanished time a conservative thing?

Everything else is pretty much the same. Except I’m old. You too!
For me and mine, I try to conserve what we have because it’s enough for us, I don’t see any future in using more resources than we need while others go without.ISn't being conservative an old people thing?
What color are they?
I have a conservative streak too.For me and mine, I try to conserve what we have because it’s enough for us, I don’t see any future in using more resources than we need while others go without.
Human.
These people are bad at branding.Eh, messaging could have done better
These dumbasses should have known, despite the historical accuracy, how this phrasing would have been received
Especially when we're in a period of time where history needs to be ignored unless it focuses on the plight of queer female brown people
Was he on acid?My dad would tease me, calling me his "little acetic."
Absolutely, pretty much defines conservatism. Nostalgia might be a harder drug to quit than heroin.Isn't longing for a better vanished time a conservative thing?
I don’t long for the past. I got my share, it’s worked out good for me in spite of some retard choices that people that build their lives around surfing make.I have a conservative streak too.

Longing for the past is natural but it's a dead end.
As far as the crowd . . . I feel so much better since I officially quit surfing.
Let them have it.
I’d say get back to me in 25 years but the chances I’ll be around in 25 years are bleak.Absolutely, pretty much defines conservatism. Nostalgia might be a harder drug to quit than heroin.
We're not back in the day anymore. We're now. That phrase above defines conservatism.Back in the day
On occasion it’s beneficial to understand how you got to where you’re at to help guide you into the future. Is that, in and of itself, a process diametrically opposed to liberalism as you define it?

I never thought I’d see the homeless problem that exists up there, if that can’t be dealt with an open door immigration is the least of your worries.Exactly. We have altered our principles and now disavow the virtues of self sufficiency and resilience and all the strategies that mankind has engaged in furtherance of their own survival. We now engage in supporting people on the unconditional basis. There's arguably a point of diminishing returns for that, which we surpassed a long time ago when it was only the infirm and widows/orphans who were destitute through (truly) no fault of their own.
That changes the math on the morality of an open door immigration policy, just as one example of many.
