A conservative believes that each of us has a duty to take care of our neighbors. It was private individuals, companies and congregations that sent water, blankets and supplies to New Orleans far before the government ever set foot there.

this doesn't quite jibe with this...

A conservative believes that there are no protections against the hardship and heartache of failure. We believe that the right to fail is just as important as the chance to succeed and that those who do fail learn essential lessons that will help them the next time around.

or this...

A conservative believes that our inalienable rights DO include the pursuit of happiness. That means it is guaranteed to no one.

A conservative believes that there are no protections against the hardship and heartache of failure. We believe that the right to fail is just as important as the chance to succeed and that those who do fail learn essential lessons that will help them the next time around.

and the whole contradiction of this...

A conservative believes that real compassion can't be found in any government program

he threatened to kill michael moore on his radio show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctwqnkWdCJg).

glenn beck is a disgusting, hate-mongering lowlife who appeals to the worst common denominator.

Glenn Beck? Are you serious? That guy is a waste of space.

That was a good piece; it reminded me exactly why I am not a conservative and never will be.
