The durability of Conservatism has depended, to a great extent,
on it being a disposition rather than a philosophy.
What marks Conservatives out, across the generations,
and whatever the environment they operate in,
is an attitude of mind rather than an adherence to dogma.
And that disposition
- skeptical, cautious, pragmatic, sensitive to the local and the particular
- has been politically successful because it has been in tune with human nature.
Michael Gove
I think it was Rush who defined conservatism the best for me. The belief that government’s only purpose beyond the bare essentials for the survival of the country, is to provide some social guidelines and encouragement so that our culture doesn’t decay, and future generations carry on our traditions and institutions.
I was having a conversation with a libertarian friend the other day, and he asked me why I wasn’t a libertarian, after all, the Founders were. My reply was that although the Founders were libertarians, they could never have imagined what kind of world we would be facing in the future. They never would have imagined that almost half of America would think killing a baby was “OK”. Unfortunately, that is what has happened, which is why I am a conservative. The Founders believed strongly in personal liberty, but this was a time when the Bible was a stronger force, and we were a more morality driven society. Conservatives would like to get back to that kind of America, where faith and family mean something. That’s something the government should be involved in. They should be ENCOURAGING marriage between men and women in schools, because it makes for a stable and healthy society. Enough with this “alternate lifestyle” garbage.
I want the government out of my wallet, and out of my daily life in general, but they should be involved with getting as many people as possible to live independent, respectful and moral lives, with emphasis on personal responsibility. Make sure people know that their actions have consequences, the government is not here to give you success. You have to earn it. If this is the case, people will live fuller lives, and this nation will be infinitely stronger.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
It’s to be a dinosaur. There’s no place anymore on the political scene for a true conservative. Not even the Republican party has any use anymore for true conservatives. We’re witnessing the death of morals, values, ethics and truth.
Being a liberal is like being a drug addict, only your addiction is euphoria derived from voting to help the poor. It doesn’t matter that the government programs you voted for are creating an ever dependent class of people. Feeling good about yourself is all that matters.
Conservatives breathe the sweet air of freedom.
WELCOME TO FREE REPUBLIC!

Now that the meet-and-greet is out of the way, here is the MEAT:
My apologies if I missed it, but you spoke not a word about preserving an establishment that is constantly moving to the Left.
Our sorry, US Federal Government has been on the wrong track for decades. This is mainly due to the Democrat’s best friend: The RINO who caves in to them.
If a Conservative is one who “conserves,” then it is difficult to conserve much of anything that the RINOs haven’t already BiPartisan Caved In on.
To put America on the RIGHT Track is the task at hand: Conserving what is best of what used to be The United States of America.
That will probably be best done at the 2014 State Constitutional Conventions.
