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 addiction, adversity, common anxiety, depression and self-destructive behavior, and serious mental disorders.[1]
Conservative values include:
- placing ideas and principles above personal desire, weaknesses and regrets
- emphasizing charity, with its unexpected benefits, rather than compulsory tax-and-spend programs
- teaching self-help rather than dependence on government and others
- supporting self-defense
- recognizing the media for its bias, bullying, deception.
- downplaying significance of wealth, disparities in wealth, and materialism in general[2]
- emphasizing self-reliance and being able to keep the fruits of one's labor
- recognizing the power of the free market
- understanding that a rising tide lifts all boats, e.g. tax cuts benefit all.
