So, in general, I have sympathy for conservative inclinations. My lament has been that the label is being applied to views that are everything but "conservative".

If one delved into the political views of traditional conservatives and classic liberals, they're quite similar. This country was founded on the backs of classic liberals. The classic liberal ceased a long time ago, the traditional conservative is a dying breed.

Times change and so do political philosophies.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
