Life: The fact is that living things undergo change. They grow, they decay, they adapt. You could even say that life IMPLIES change. This is true biologically, and it is true socially. This makes a lot of people uneasy, but there's just no getting around this folks.

Politics: Conservatives dislike change. Hence the name conservative...they seek (in vain) to maintain the status quo...and when you look back and take a historical perspective, they are almost always on the "wrong" side. I put wrong in quotes for the same reason I would put the word "normal" in quotes...I mean, who is to say right? But even in our books and movies and TV shows, conservative characters (with the exception of the sort of hero Clint Eastwood and some others might play) are usually the asshole you root against...they are the douchebag antagonists who, 20 years later, even moderately educated people find hard to believe there were actually some who really thought that way. The racists, the mysogonists, and the fundamentalists...ah, the GOP. A big tent indeed!

Language: The fact is that ALL languages ALWAYS undergo a myriad of changes over time, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. You can waste valuable time and money trying to legislate English as the national language and attempting to keep it from "degenerating" as it is influenced by Ebonics and Spanish...but English has undergone change before (many times) and it will again...with apologies to Joey Vento...another douchebag. He's going to lecture people on using proper English to order food at his overrated slophouse...but the last time I checked, "wit" isn't the correct pronounciation...
