Silent Majority

I am Conservative...but what does that really mean?  Today it and it's opposite, Liberal, are so over-used as to be almost meaningless.    It is a problem that both sides are guilty of.  It has become so bad that most people that claim to be one oppose the other just because without any real, clear reason why.  You ask a liberal why they don't like conservatives and they answer "Because they are conservative."  The same is true of many conservatives in regards to liberals.  Though my own personal opinion is that this is more common on the left.

So, I will do you all a favor by attempting to clearly define Conservativism as I see it...


I believe in God and Country and that the former gives authority to the latter through The People.  That we are One Nation Under God and that He should be remembered and honored.  Not ridiculed and forgotten.

I believe that the Constitution is the most sacred document in this country and should be enforced not "interpreted."  That the idea of a "Living Constitution" is preposterous.  That the Bill of Rights, not the Government, gives and protects our Freedom and Liberty.

I believe in limited Government.  The Constitution lays out very specifically what powers the central government has and does not have and that for the past century the federal government has far exceeded its power and mandate as put down by the Constitution.

I believe in fiscal responsibility.  The runaway spending of Congress and the President must stop.  Spending in general must be reigned in to within our means.  The way to do this is to shrink government.

I believe that a Free Market Economy is the best road to all of these goals.  Private ownership, something that is beyond the government's grasp, gives The People freedom.  A free market gives everyone the chance to excel and thereby benefit both themselves and the nation, as long as they have the drive.

I believe in lower taxes, both personal and business.  People with more disposable income will spend it.  Businesses that do not have to spend nearly 50% of their profit in taxes will stay here instead of going to other countries.  Taxes should be equal...NOT higher for the rich...

I believe life is sacred.  Each new life is a potential resource for this country, not a drain on the system.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment.  The right to keep and bear arms is essential is protecting Freedom and Liberty.  Government should fear its people, not the other way around.  And no...this was not written for hunting and procuring food.  It is there specifically to hinder government expansion.

Illegal Immigration is just that...ILLEGAL!  I have no problem with people that come to this country legally and contribute.  Illegals take from the system without giving back to it.

I believe in States Rights.  States should have the right to govern their people without federal interference

I believe Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in the last century.  Not FDR, JFK, Clinton andmost certainly not Obama.

I believe Obamacare, Stimulus, and bail-outs are abominations and are illegal.


These are just the core of why I am a Conservative and proud.  And I have news for Washington...I am not alone.  We are the Silent Majority.  In the past we have not been outspoken or active because of our responsibilities in our own lives.  You have changed that.  Like Japan waking the "sleeping giant" of our country during WWII, you have motivated us.  Your chronic, blatant, and willful disregard for the Will of the People, whom you work for, has forced this problem into our lives and in our faces.

So, now you must deal with the consequences of your actions: an attentive nation who wants their freedoms back.  If you insist on ignoring the people further, you will not be re-elected.   You can try and dismiss us all you want, but pretending our presence is marginal and ineffective does not change the fact that we are now organized and motivated.  If we are so marginal...then why are you still talking about us?   How did the Tea Party candidates sweep the last elections?

Because of you, we have found our voices again and have said, unanimously, "You are on notice!"
