Oct. 7, 2008 - The Marks of A True Conservative
When listening to the media, I here the right (conservatives) constantly vilified. It seems that conservatives are so out of touch with America. Conservatives make up about 35 percent of the voting population. This is the largest block of voters in the United States. So why are we so out of touch. Here is a list that for our family, defines a conservative, keeping in mind some differences and that not all Conservatives are Christians.
1. God has ultimate control
2. All human life is valuable and should be protected from death and harm. From the the first cell to the last breath.
3. Punish the wicked, including the death penalty and harsh consequences for wrong actions.
4. Marriage is between one man and one woman. There are no substitutes, as they mock God's design
5.It take a family to raise a child. All areas of child rearing should be left to the parents.
6.Personal Responsibility. We all need to be personally responsible for our own action expecting absolutely no one to "Bail us out"
7. United States Citizenship is not cheap. If you choose to come here you need to first be invited and be legally in our country.
8. Promote charitable contributions to private organizations and volunteerism.
9. Promote healthy behavior and discourage unhealthy behavior.
10. Do not create more programs that require less responsibility from the citizens. Do not promote a sense of entitlement.
11. Low taxes. Taxing only enough to fund what is neccesary to run a small government.
12. Spend only what you make. Start using household economics.
13. Protect America at all cost. Take military action when neccessary but do not interefere with other countries unless the U.S is at risk.
14. Take care of our war veterans who have proudly served in active duty.
15. Serves their country with honesty and honor.
16 Respects politicians who Considers themselves a public service.
17. Will appoint strict constructionists to the Supreme court.
18. Believes Government is not the solution but rather the problem. Freedom first!!!!!
19. The love of this great country and the belief that it's system can never be recreated.
20. The right to bear arms. To protect one's family.
This is a list of what we vote on. How out of touch is this? Yes, I know we never find all of them in a cannidate and sometimes find very few. This election is no exception as our choices seem awful but have what we have. So to ask the question. Would the real conservative please stand up? The fight for this great land is on!

I found myself nodding and saying "Uh-huh! That's right!" a lot while reading this list.
Thanks for sharing it.
