Conservatism I think one had a good about the excesses of the French Revolution. Other than that? It’s been defenses of slavery, child labor laws, opposing Civil Rights, etc. Now Republicans have been in the right on some of these issues but conservatives by and large have not. Conservatives are quite frankly too chickenshit to deal with change because they’d rather live in la la land.

But was the French Revolution a reaction to conservative abuse in the first place? Abuse that was excessive?
