Now this man truly knows what a conservative really is, unlike Irving Kristol and other neo-cons.

Kristol thinks it's time to ram the state down conservatives throats, whither they want it or not. Looks like he will get his way to a large extent.

Definition of a conservative, not the fake thing.

Conservatives realize the need to limit government

If only the GOP would...

Link to Olympian doesn't work and I'm not likely to be able to put it here for others to see as it is from January.

Surprised that there are any conservatives left in Olympia.

"A conservative is a person who believes the fundamental purpose of human existence is to lead a happy life and that it is the responsibility of the individual, with his or her family, and through his or her voluntary associations -- churches, service organizations, trade associations -- to cultivate the fruits of his or her happiness, and to help others in need. "

well said

[As you well know...]

Amen.

Interesting read.

[KC Burke]

I like where he eventually gets his arguement around to, but I don't like the choice of words he starts out with:
A conservative is a person who believes the fundamental purpose of human existence is to lead a happy life and that it is the responsibility of the individual, with his or her family, and through his or her voluntary associations -- churches, service organizations, trade associations -- to cultivate the fruits of his or her happiness, and to help others in need.

"Happiness" is sentimentality, not true sentiment based on a recognition of virtue. I was always taught that part of modernity and self-centeredness's problem was a false quest for "happiness" and that, truely, happiness was a mere by-product of "Right Living."

Happiness, like "satisfaction" can be awful short sighted and illusionary. Virtues over Values, I always say.
