Here's mine:
Conservative Principles
Against Communism
Limited government
Free market economics, Adam Smith, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Henry Hazlitt, Ludwig von Mises
Against Obamacare
Against government stimulus
Free trade
Lower taxes
Protect property rights, including Intellectual property
Energy Independence
Environmental Sensibility
Constitution speaks for itself, not what liberals think it should say
Pro-life
Gay marriage, should be left to the states
State rights to determine everything not enumerated in Constitution
Legal immigration within secure borders
Strong military
No UN control of US policy
<Typical Politicial>
The GOP is beyond learning anything. They stand for nothing.
Thanks codiasllc.
In a two party system (one and a half in the U.S. practice) both parties stand for everything good, and specific ideers go out the window.
