The Conservative Manifesto

This is my Conservative Manifesto.

Conservatives believe in personal responsibility. The individual, not the government, is responsible for individual actions and that all government should be limited and be representative of the people.

I believe the Constitution of the United States is based on Judea Christian principals and it means exactly what it says. I believe this Constitution has produced the greatest nation in the history of the world.

I believe our Constitution gives us freedom and we use that freedom to elect officials to uphold this belief and protect Christian Principals and Individual freedom to accept or to reject them.

I believe taxes are justified only to fund necessary government spending and that the correct function of taxation is to equitably collect only that revenue needed to fund the legitimate activities of a constitutionally limited government. I believe in free market economy, individual liberty, traditional values and morals, and a strong national military for defense.

I believe that individual States are best able to solve their own State problems and that the communities, families and individuals and are best able to solve their own problems.

I believe government dependency is the enemy of freedom and it is as big of a threat to democracy as hostile foreign nations are to our way of life. I believe that government dependency breeds more dependency which stifles ambition and leaves individuals trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty. This is why I believe the ever expanding welfare state is destroying our nations families and leaving many to never even attempt to achieve the American Dream.

I believe the more that individuals, families and businesses can acquire and control the goods necessary to sustain and advance themselves, the more autonomy they will have from the state and others who may wish to unjustly restrict their freedom. I believe the free and responsible use of private property tends to create greater wealth and greater freedom for greater numbers of people.

I believe the marriage of one man and one woman is the natural foundation of all human society, and the means by which children ought to be brought into the world and taught the basic values of our civilization. I believe the Government has a duty to recognize and protect the family and must not grant alternative relationships the same status and privileges.

I believe that life is the first God-given right and it’s always wrong to deliberately take an innocent human life. When this principle is abridged, violence escalates. Thus I believe abortion, euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide is murder as well as the cloning of human beings for the specific purpose of killing them for research or body parts.

I believe the Ten Commandments should not only be enshrined in our courthouses, they should be engraved in our hearts and minds as guides to all behavior, public and private. As the Founders acknowledged in the Declaration of Independence, laws and policies that violate the natural law are abuses of government power that must be resisted and reversed.

I believe we should strive to leave our children a better country. I believe America is more than just the land between its borders and the laws that govern it. It is the greatest culture on this planet, whose art, architecture, journalism, music, movies, television, schools and universities and laws should reflect and reinforce the traditional values that made this country great.

I owe this to my children, who will continue the America of tomorrow on the principals I teach them today.

It was an emotional experience putting what I believe in to words. I suggest everyone sitdown for a few minutes and really think about what you believe for yourself. I think it will be an eyeopener for everyone. I think you fill find that there are very few things that that you can confirm that you truely believe in with all your heart.
