Conservatives unwittingly side with the social forces that contribute to the destruction of traditional values.

A lot of attention has been going to social values - abortion, gay rights, other divisive issues - but economic values are equally important.

It amazes me that talking about traditional values is controversial, but it seems to be.

What is considered 'conservative' and what is considered 'liberal' changes in any given era.

I'm a conservative, but with a focus on average people. For instance, I support Social Security and Medicare.
