Conservatism

Ran across this quote, and it's so true.

Scholar R.J. White once put it this way:

"To put conservatism in a bottle with a label is like trying to liquefy the atmosphere … The difficulty arises from the nature of the thing. For conservatism is less a political doctrine than a habit of mind, a mode of feeling, a way of living."

It truely is a way of thinking, feeling and living. Liberals are a political party, Conservatives are a way of life! It's in your bones, in your very essence.

My husband gets mad at me because he thinks I just support the Conservatives no matter what they do. That's not it, I support the Conservatives because their policies are right. I actually feel sorry for our Conservative MP's because we are harder on them than we would ever be on liberals. We expect more of our Conservatives.

The liberals talk about their values, they never explain what those values are. Conservatives act on their values, and do not apoligize for making hard choices. Everyone knows what Conservatives stand for, you might not agree with them, but they are clear in their objectives. Work hard. That's what liberals can't understand, we do not change our minds because a poll tells us we should, we do not waffle because someone might not like it.

Principled conservatism, it's in your blood, it's the way you think, it's not a political party, it's just how you feel, right down to your toes!
