The core of conservatism - liberty, self-determination, life, and preserving individual rights above the state - is accessible to all. Those are my core criteria, and anyone from either/any party who corrupts those principles in the name of conservatism does not automatically deserve my support.

The core of conservatism is putting Americans first and not letting international corporation de industrialize the USA for a buck while corrupting our federal elected officials in the process.
