[[File:Ncoln2.jpg|left|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. Political correctness in America has made the public forget that Lincoln was a Republican.]]

[[image:Freddouglas.jpg|225px|left|thumb|[[Frederick Douglass]], [[Abolitionism|abolitionist]] activist, member of the [[Republican Party]] of the United States. Democrats forget that ''they were the ones'' who supported slavery in the south and that it was the Republicans who abolished it. 100% of Republicans in Congress voted in favor of abolishing slavery in the 13th Amendment, while only a small percentage of Democrats did so.]]

'''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.
