    For me political conservatives recognise the value of many of our establishments and don’t want to see radical, untested, change risk what we have.

    Progressives want to see us improve our systems, institutions, and cultural norms. Laudable goals, however the goals and implementation approaches can produce results that diminish, rather than enhance, what we already have.

    Socially conservative values, to me, are another kettle of fish. I know socially progressive conservatives and socially regressive progressives.

    Libertarianism is also a separate, cross over, category for me. How power is shared between individuals and government is a critical foundation for how we function and can once again be adopted by politically conservative or progressive ideas.
