What Does Conservatism Mean?

Without a doubt Ronald Reagan was one of the most prolific spokesmen for conservatism in our lifetime and beyond. With that he defined a movement, a grassroots coalition stretching from one end of the nation to another, helping to define what it meant to be a conservative. This is meant to hear what he has to say about key issues that we are facing, that we are talking about today as we seek to once more reclaim our strong conservative heritage in a changing world.

The most prevalent theme in President Barack Obama's Dec. 6 Osawatomie, Kan., speech was the need for greater "fairness." In fact, though the president never defined the term fair(ness), he used it 15 times.

Explaining his new hero, Teddy Roosevelt , Obama said: "But Roosevelt also knew that the free market has never been a free license to take whatever you can from whomever you can.

@Hiraghm

The only real problem with taxes is that they both want it to pay for accumulating interest on borrowed debt, while using borrowed money to pay for outrageously expensive social programs. Also deflating value of the US dollar.

@mrgetrealpeople - the part that leaves out that he had to deal with a Democrat-controlled Congress who always want 100% tax rates on everything and everyone. There's nothing wrong with decreasing tax rates, nor from requiring those who benefit most from gov't spending to contribute more to their own benefit.

@Hiraghm Speaking more Truth to Power, the Republican Party has been a resolute enemy of the Ku Klux Klan, terrorist wing of the Democratic Party. To quote from Back to Basics for the Republican Party, “The more we Republicans know about the history of our party, the more the Democrats will worry about the future of theirs.”

@heathdwatts The notorious police commissioner Bull Connor, who attacked African-Americans with dogs and clubs and fire hoses, was both a Klansman and the Democratic Party’s National Committeeman for Alabama. Starting in the 1980s, the Democratic Party elevated a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), to third-in-line for the presidency.
