What Conservatives Believe
Conservatives Believe in Individual Liberty
We believe that: "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Government does NOT give us Liberty - Liberty is a God given Right. The primary role of government is to defend us against enemies, foreign and domestic, who would take our Liberty. To do so the government must maintain a strong and effective military defense against enemies abroad and the government must provide a strong and effective legal system to defend us against enemies at home. Conservatives Believe in Limited Government
When government expands beyond its rightful role as the guardian of our God given Liberty, then we forfeit our Liberty to that government. Individuals are no longer free to pursue happiness but instead become slaves to a government that is intrusive and oppressive. When our Founders established the Federal government, to oversee our individual States, the paramount concern was that the Federal government be limited so as to give each state its own right to pursue its own course within the Union. The 10th amendment clearly states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
