Amish: The Ultimate Conservatives?


Of course they are, Amish not only talk the talk, they walk the walk. They not only wish things were like the 'old days', they are living it. Amish live with strict christian values, not polluted with all those fancy machines that use electricity, and the word 'internet' is near meaningless. Conservatives long for simpler times in a world which grows in complexity, forever unhappy. Well, conservatives, there is one solution to your dilemma, many of you prefer the time when you were a youngster. Well, you can go back to that time with ease, roll back, back to the simpler time with which you were raised. Dress the way you dressed back then (many conservatives have this down already), use the technology that was used in your days (the telegraph machine, while slower, are much easier to understand then these new fangled computers). Much can be learned from the Amish conservatives,  they stick to living in one particular time period, and they don't change with the times.

Maybe someday in the distant future there will be a group of people like the Amish, which live life like it was in the early 1900s, the Amish of the future will be laughed at, but at-least they will stick true to themselves. The complexity of the future is way to much for their little-minds to comprehend, and they will be too lazy to even try, stuck in their ways, and their ways stuck in time. Progressives leaving them in the dust -- a moving object always moves further then an object stuck in the mud.
