This is a new blog that I am starting to share my views on today's political landscape. I hope that this will grow and that others will join with me in supporting conservative principles which are:
That government is not the answer for all of our problems.
That wealth is not created by redistribution through taxation and government spending.
That the individual entreprenuer unburdened by undue government intervention is the reason that the USA has an economy that is the envy of the world.
The right to own and manage property without unreasonable intervention from government.
The right to life for the unborn.
Belief that our country guarantees the opportunity to succeed, but does not guarantee success - that is up to the individual.
That the rights of victims and society are greater than the rights of convicted criminals.
Freedom from government forced reverse discrimination in the name of racial quotas.
Belief that environmental extremism (global warming) is an ideology that seeks to manipulate social and economic behavior to conform with radical left-wing views.
Belief that society has a right to set standards for acceptible moral behavior.
There will be more added to this list later. This will form the foundation for future posts. In the future, I will provide links to sources of conservative writing and other outlets for conservative thought.
Those who share my beliefs in conservatism may be down now, but ultimately conservative ideals which have shaped this country will prevail.
Lastly a quote from Ronald Reagan - Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

If you'd like a different perspective on the economy, politics, wars and law that I would say is largely conservative, read Richard Maybury. He wrote the "Uncle Eric" series of books concerning the above subjects. His website is chaostan.com and he writes a monthly newsletter. He describes himself as a juris naturalist - an advocate of Natural Law, which are immutable laws that are higher than human-made, or government-made, laws. His books describe the perspectives and writings of America's Founding Fathers and how our government has moved largely away from their philosophies. Two of my favorites are "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" and "Whatever Happened to Justice?". Most larger library systems should carry his books or he sells them through his website.
