[[File:Liberty2.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Liberty ''''' is''''' the foremost principle and tradition of the United States of America. Libertarian conservatives like myself guard this tradition and principle from fanatic radicals on the left who use it out of context, and misinformed rightests who fall into the same mistake of the leftists in opposing a form of liberty to promote a goal.]]

'''''But'' accept authority that is legitimate and justified.''' I.e. don't listen to conspiracy theorists, no matter where they are politically, whether they are lunatic fringe left-wing nutters like the 9-11 Truthers or lunatic fringe right-wing nutters like the Obama Birthers. I oppose Obama for what he ''has done'', not some conspiracy theory.

[[File:Ncoln2.jpg|right|thumb|150px|[[Abraham Lincoln]], the founder of the Republican Party and the man who fought a war with the Democrat-led Confederate States of America and abolished [[slavery]] that the Democrats defended.

'''I am a libertarian conservative.''' I believe the greatest tradition of the American Constitution is its tradition of individual liberty. The state should have no ability to regulate people's beliefs and associations. I support conservative theorist [[Edmund Burke]]'s emphasis on traditionalism as a necessity for a society and his denouncing of the anti-traditionalism of the left-wing radicals of the [[French Revolution]]. Originally the French Revolution ''was'' moderate and a lot like the [[American Revolution]] in that it opposed the tyranny of a tyrannical king. But the French Revolution got taken over by the extreme left-wing nutcase Jacobins who turned the Revolution away from opposing a king, and into a quasi-communist revolution that murdered thousands of people in Stalin-like purges. Burke saw the French being led down a dangerous path away from tradition and into violent fanaticism.
