Why do you think Conservatives imagine themselves akin to the founders?

Asked by Imadethisupwithnoforethought (14682points) May 6th, 2012

Not trying to start a shouting match. Curious as to why Conservatives of today imagine conservative principles lead to the progressive actions and writings of the founders.

Weren’t the founders much closer in behavior to that of the Occupy Wall Street protesters than to modern captains of industry? What is going on to make them see that link between modern conservatism and historical progressive action? Why is it so important to them?
