And you would do well to remember that Locke was a radical in his time.  He wasn't conservative.  He was beyond liberal.

The bedrock of conservatism is to be skeptical of people who want to "fix" society by changing laws.  The bedrock of conservatism is that any change to law or to appropriation or to tax will have unintended adverse consequences.  

Be skeptical of people who want to change the law. Be skeptical to changing the structure of authority. It's rarely more complicated than that.  

As a conservative, I am skeptical of what DeSantis is trying to do here.

You are not a conservative you are a troll that goes out of the your way to defend the absurd.

The only absurd thing here is DeSantis' proposals.
Florida doesn't have a problem with violent protests.
I'm defending the status quo: no violent protests.
DeSantis is creating a problem where none exists.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
