Another one with nothing on the home page.

Tell me about how you came to be a Conservative.

“Tell me about how you came to be a Conservative.”

Never been one for labels. That limits your chances of flexability and increases your chances of being misunderstood. But here’s what I think a conservative is:

American conservatives tend to support Christian values, moral absolutism, traditional family values, and American exceptionalism. They tend to be pro-business and pro-capitalism, while opposing going against social norms or being evil. But mostly conservatism is a type of political belief that supports emphasis on traditions and relies on the individual to maintain society. That doesn’t mean we are against change. We just don’t want to see others hurt with it. We love and fear God in some way. We are giving and honor freedoms while worshiping the gift of human dignity. I came up with a family that worked to not be poor and ended up more than wealthy. Now I give of my time, what little I have left, for those less fortunate and espcially for kids. They need a future they can have a say in. I try to help them get there while they learn how.

Like I said, gotta define it first. Think I got a little of it. We’re pretty complex.

Thanks for asking.
