"Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and
any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains." - Winston
Churchill
Why I am a Conservative:
Conservatism is a philosophy which encompasses freedom, morality,
and individualism. A typical conservative does not fit the dictionary
definition as one opposed to change. Nor does it fit the description
of one who wants to go back to an earlier time. Both of these are
common misconceptions of critics of conservatism (i.e.. the left)
A conservative fits the general description as one who
Believes in a minimal role of government. This particularly applies to
economic and fiscal issues
Believes in a strong emphasis on moral values and strict enforcement of
criminal law
Believes in individual freedom and the protection of these freedoms at
all costs. These Freedoms include all first amendment rights as well
as inalienable rights
Believes in equal opportunity for all to succeed after putting forth an
effort
I strongly adhere to conservatism because of my belief in individualism
and my support of strong moral character.
