Funny thing about Americans. They are the first to adopt weird lifestyles and radical views but they are the most conservative race on earth.

The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.
Mark Twain
Things are set up as contraries that are not even in the same category. Listen to me: the opposite of radical is superficial, the opposite of liberal is stingy; the opposite of conservative is destructive. Thus I will describe myself as a radical conservative liberal; but certain of the tainted red fish will swear that there can be no such fish as that. Beware of those who use words to mean their opposites. At the same time have pity on them, for usually this trick is their only stock in trade.
R. A. Lafferty
The thing is, I'm not saying "f**k" just to say it. Every time I curse, I mean it. It might sound weird and funny, but I f**king mean the shit.
Eamon (singer)
I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
Abraham Lincoln
