A conservative adheres to principles of limited government, personal responsibility and moral virtue. He agrees with the statement in George Washington's Farewell Address that "religion and morality are indispensable supports" to political prosperity.[1]
A conservative relies more on the application of reason rather than personal whim. Conservatives oppose collectivism and emphasize equal opportunity rather than equal results. Conservatives support a complete right of self-defense both on an individual level and for our nation as a whole.
Every 20-60 years a conservative is elected president of the United States. Examples include:
James Monroe
Grover Cleveland
Warren G. Harding
Richard Nixon]
Ronald Reagan
George W. Bush
