Why I am a conservative
John Hawkins from Right Wing News wrote an article that listed off the reasons for why he is a conservative. It’s a pretty awesome article and basically outlines why I am a conservative also. Here are some of the highlights:
* I don’t get upset that the federal government “doesn’t care about me.” In fact, I’d be pleased if it forgets that I exist.
(…)
* Having a government that is too involved in our lives is far more of a threat than a government that isn’t involved enough.
* My priorities are God, family, and country, in that order.
* Our tax rate is too high as it is and if it’s not producing enough revenue for Washington, D.C. then they should start trying to live within their means instead of asking us to pony up more money.
* Life begins at the moment of conception and we have an obligation to speak up for the children that are being exterminated via abortion since they can’t speak up for themselves.
(…)
* I believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of outcomes.
If you’re a conservative or on the fence about what you are, it has a lot of very good reasons why a person is a conservative.
