A consservative point of view

I started this over at Althouse, and decide it needs to be expanded....feel free to join in.

Not in any order:

A conservative knows that a cut in spending is NOT a reduction in the rate of increase.
A conservative knows that the answer to the housing fiasco is not more regulation.
A conservative knows that while you might not like what the other guy is saying, he has a right to say it.
A conservative knows that you're right to free speech doesn't extend to private events.
A conservative knows that a gun can never act on its own.
A conservative knows that you can make a country strong as a melting pot, but not as a Balkanized state.
A conservative knows that it's what a man does, not the color of his skin, that makes him a man.
 A conservative knows that you rely on your family first, not the government.
A conservative knows that marriage is between a man and a woman, anything else is just sex.
A conservative knows that it is not racist to request a photo ID to vote.
A conservative knows that the government rarely is there to help you.
A conservative knows that Obamacare is just a power grab.
A conservative knows that criminals cannot be cured.
A conservative knows that the teachers union leadership doesn't care about the children.
 A conservative knows that liberals can't or won't admit when their wrong.
A conservative knows that freedom is more important than security.
A conservative knows that communism will never work.
A conservative knows that AGW is a scam.

I am sure there are more that I missed...
