Looking back on my attitudes and actions from about junior high school on, I realize that I was conservative before I even knew it. I find liberal philosophy averse because it makes no sense at all. I didn’t choose it; it chose me.

Liberalism is a worldview whose foundations are rooted in emotions and feelings. This is why they have such weird contradictions and hypocrisies. And why they are never happy.

Conservatism appeals to logic and reasoning. The fact that logic and reasoning are behind it in no way means it’s not compassionate or caring as well. It is just that FEELINGS or EMOTION are the fundamental justification for our viewpoints. In the long run our worldview is far more compassionate and concerned with the individual and society at large.
