I believe in small government, limited interference in private lives, the rights of individuals, lower spending and lower taxes, sound economic policies, balanced budgets and the payoff of the national debt, less entitlments and welfare, lawmaking according to the Constitution, the rejection of foreign entanglements and alliances, the protection of our borders, and a strong defense (where we actual support the troops with money, the supplies, equipment and benefits they need, not just with a bumper sticker)... THESE points are ALL hallmarks of a true conservative philosophy such as the Republican Party used to support until recently.
I also just happen to strongly disagree with this war (a right that I fought for when I was in the military in the 70s), as the war was based on the wrong info, we can't afford the loss in blood and treasure, it is just plain immoral, and Iraq's affairs are none of our business anyway, esp. as we can't and shouldn't try to remake the world in our image.
