Conservative values recognize the adversarial nature of politics, and much in life. As a result of their ability to deal with adversity, conservative values are superb in defending against obesity,[1] addiction,[2] adversity,[3] anxiety,[4] fear,[5] depression, narcissism,[6] risky law-breaking activities like dangerous driving,[7] self-destructive behavior, illiteracy,[8] rejection, wastefulness, and serious mental disorders.[9] Conservatives are happier than liberals, and one study gives a reason: conservatives do not insist upon a mindless equality.[10]

Conservative values are also helpful in recognizing and combating deceit. A conservative understands the many incentives by others to engage in deceit, and the political power that can result from such deceit. A conservative is often not surprised by the deception that fools others.

Conservative values include:

  • placing ideas and principles above personal desire, weaknesses, fears and regrets
  • a never-ending quest for the truth, despite obstacles based on emotion and personal experience, and spreading such truths for the benefit of all
  • recognizing and utilizing the benefits of competition and hard work
  • emphasizing charity, with its unexpected benefits, rather than compulsory tax-and-spend programs
  • teaching self-help rather than dependence on government and others
  • a devotion to the principle of justice
  • supporting self-defense
  • recognizing the media for its bias, bullying, deception.
  • frugality and efficiency
  • rejecting the deification of government officials
  • giving those in authority due respect, but not to the point of accepting orders or assertions that are contrary to logic or morality
  • downplaying significance of wealth, disparities in wealth, and materialism in general[11]
  • emphasizing self-reliance and being able to keep the fruits of one's labor
  • not complaining, and instead taking practical action to improve one's situation
  • emphasizing self-restraint against hurtful activities
  • emphasizing humility and open-mindedness instead of arrogant certainty about one's own views
  • recognizing the power of the free market
  • understanding that a rising tide lifts all boats, e.g. tax cuts benefit all.
  • self-control as opposed to a self-indulgent search for instant gratification of desires.
  • recognizing that evil does exist in the world, and making an effort to combat this force by whatever means necessary
  • respecting the sanctity of life
  • following Christian principles

Conservative values are useful and powerful in combating common human weaknesses:
