  1. Utter tosh, values without foundations are pointless, they will go wherever the tide takes them.

  2. Liberalism, which is what it is, calling the American revolution conservative is farcical. Is basically the idea that the legal rights enshrined by the King in the medieval period are protected not by him but by parliament, basically it's a political power grab which was turned into an ideology, a rather poor one due to it lacking many of the components it was relying on, but one that people believed in all the same. This is fairly obvious from the conflicts of the time, people like the jacobites didn't hate freedom, they abhorred the power of an assembly being held over that of a divinely anointed monarch. The liberals twisted the argument into rights which both sides upheld, the monarchists were motivated by a religious belief in divinely upheld hierarchy. This is also a weakness of (english) liberalism, it heavily relies on Christian moral assumptions but at the same time has to reject Christian theological belief, this is fine for non-conformists (usually, Presbyterians ironically overindexed on both sides) as they are less strict with the logical aspects of the religion but it does mean that Catholics and most Anglicans are their bane. But yeah, given the context of the time they were about as far from conservative as you could get.

  3. It's hard to talk about complex concepts in everyday language, also it would be incredibly long winded as they would have to replace a word with its meaning. It's better to just learn the words.
