"Tons of voter fraud by the GOP. North Carolina. It's our 12th State." - destriero

Spoken like a true idiot who has no idea of the context and history of the current voter fraud situation in North Carolina. If destriero actually read posts from someone who provides the details and information he could possibly be educated -- but this is a far-fetched hope since he ignores anything that intrudes on his perpetual ignorance.
 
It may good to identify what Conservatives believe. Each person may have variants but what follows is what I believe conservatism to be.

--Strict adherence to The Constitution and respect for what the founders envisioned for the country.
--Rugged individualism. Citizens are to make their own way.
--Freedom of religion and speech.
--Strong defense.
--Strong infrastructure. In fact, defense and infrastructure should be the 2 main items that the government is involved in---not social programs
--Non-progressive tax system.
--Balanced budget or surplus.
--A much smaller number of regulations. The economy works best when it is unfettered by regs. Certainly some regulations are necessary.
--Strong moral character
--Strong law enforcement and resulting correction in full for those who are working against society by committing crimes.
--Belief that Man exists at the pleasure of nature and cannot destroy the Earth. Man can only destroy Man.
--Belief in Natural Law.

There are certainly other items that can be added, but this is the general core of conservatism as I see it, and it is my contention that the majority of Americans are conservative. However, the media continually berates The Right and furthers anti-American ideas so much so that folks are reticent to agree that they are conservative.
Rubbish!! (or worse)
