I think this Rush Limbaugh quote does a good job summarizing modern day conservatism: We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism. And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation--the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people.^ I think ideally that is what conservatives want to stand for, though in practice it may be quite different. ^ http://www.opinionjournal.com/ac/?id=110007417 http://www.opinionjournal.com/ac/?id=110007417
