I come by my conservatism authentically, not by convenience. And I offer the American people a new direction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want the American people to understand that conservatism is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.
All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.
I don't really like labels in politics, but I will gladly accept the label of conservatism.
All I do is convert liberals to conservatism. That's what I do, and that's why they don't like me.
If you are tired of partisanship over patriotism, you need to vote for a change in direction.
But recently it seems that each time I vote, I am being asked to compromise my conservative ideals and my commitment to the American taxpayer simply for the benefit of political gain.
Conservatism is rooted in preservation; progressivism advances alteration. These are different love languages. These languages turn on your view of change itself: When you think of America, do you see a country struggling to be maintained or one striving to be made better?
Myself, I'm a post-ideological conservative.
I'm as conservative as they come.
But you say you are conservative - eminently conservative - while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort. What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?
