Anti-conservatism at its worst

In response to this hellatious rebuking of the conservative presence during the Restoration of Europe.

To start: "Yes, they may consider what is best for the survival of the country, but rarely are the people, such as peasants and the suppressed, ever considered." I forgot that it was better to help some peasants than maintain the NATION of which they are citizens, right. Secondly, covering the Greek Rebellion--as an example--, the monarchs did not simply ditch the proclaimed pillars of their reign; I somehow find it hard to believe that the "hundreds of volunteers from Europe" (715), ALL Europe mind you, made a significant difference in the revolution. Moreover, you cannot compare the established Turkish regime to that of any European power as it, at that time, was the mar on the Christian facade of which all Europe was living under. Therefor, Greece WAS in fact justified as it represented the quelling of a spiritual/religious uprising at the cost of allowing a social/political rebellion (against a common enemy >.>).
