Why [[Conservative]]? Here are some reasons to embrace -- and teach -- conservative principles:
* they give you the power to defeat [[addiction]]
* they provide a basis for ignoring or rejecting nonsensical [[liberal media]] stories, [[Hollywood values]] and [[professor values]]
* they welcome and enhance [[faith]]
* they welcome and apply [[logic]]
* they resist [[deceit]] and [[liberal tricks]]
* they welcome and encourage [[self-defense]], which is essential to psychological and emotional well-being
* they minimize [[liberal]] stress felt by teenagers<ref>http://www.economist.com/science/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10717915</ref>
* they welcome and promote fidelity and frugality
* they encourage self-help and betterment
* they aid traditional religion by reacting to and addressing modern culture
[[Conservative values]] have a unifying affect on people of [[faith]] despite differences in religion. Churches have reunited after centuries of division and discord based on an agreement on [[conservative values]].
[[Conservative values]] are powerful in resisting encroachment by the [[entitlement mentality]] on institutions, including churches and church staffs.
