Barry Goldwater was the forefather of modern day conservatism. His ideas were embraced by Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush (to an extent). Goldwater described conservatism as a three legged stool in his book "Conscience of a Conservative" written in the 1960's. The three legs then were:
1. Low taxes (it's your money not the governments)
2. Smaller federal government (decisions are best made at the local level)
3. Anti-communism (the Soviet Union was the major military and economic threat of the time)
Today conservatives believe in the same things. You could replace anti-communism with a support of a strong defense and the fight against radical forms of Islam.

It doesn't seem to stand for conservative does it? I think any truly conservative conservatives must be bound and gagged in a warehouse somewhere.

there's a big difference in conservative, and what you're describing, which is republican. I'm conservative and don't agree with the way that Bush has taken us.

This whole country has been conned. That's why a change will occur in November. They are hypocrites.

Isnt the title "Logical Democrat" an oxy moron. (Special emphasis on the later.)
