Recently a friend of mine Kyle stated "If you really
want to change the country for the better then fix the family and study the
founders. And I don't even need to say study conservatism because once you
study the founders then conservatism becomes the obvious choice. It is the
perpetuation of everything the founders stood for - most importantly freedom
and individual liberty." I believe that strong conservative values have been the foundation upon
which our country has been built.
As a
conservative at heart I do believe that conservative
values that promote individual liberty and limited government are
essential to
a free society. Our country was founded on the belief that hard work,
strong moral values, and faith in God were essential to our success and
prosperity as a country. Through the last few years we have struggled in
more than just economics. We have struggled for the soul of America.
This struggle on whether we are going to stand by the same values we
have held for many years or let them fall.
Holding true to our values is essential and we must not compromise our values. Our founders had varying opinions of what a free society needed in terms of government, especially the national government. What set them most apart, and what we remember them most for was their ability to compromise, and by so doing bringing to pass action, which in turn has brought to pass a prosperous country of over two hundred and thirty years. We have come to an age however that it seems that individual thought clouds the capability of many of our elected officials from being able of acting in the best interest of the country as a whole. While I do not blame either party individually I do blame both for playing to the extremes of their parties. However there does need to be compromise on the issues where we can come together.
What
we most need are leaders who will unite us and lead us rather than
divide us and follow others. We need leaders who understand how to
inspire us to action and to be more than we are. We also need leaders
who will lead us into the future.
I encourage you to consider these as you decide on who to vote for this year, I especially encourage you to research each candidate including and most importantly your local officials, and make a decision according to your conscience and vote.
