RE :”But what does it mean to be a “conservative” in America? For most people it means we are “conserving” the principles of the American founding—i.e., LIBERTY.

??? You are dreaming. Not in this country. In this country everyone has his hand out to the government, liberal and conservative alike. They just complain when it doesnt work or they think someone else is benefiting more than them. But we have democratic socialism. Under Bush it was spending and government growth will be paid for by tax cuts. Now we have O.

I was talking about conservative values like two parent families, work, savings, taking care of your parents, producing rather than consuming (my grandparents values). Yes, we have MTV and an entitlement society as values making believe it's freedom.

GET IT???
