The Philosophy of a True Conservative, Today

Not sure that's Conservatism, necessarily -- more Libertarianism.

I wouldn't say that most Conservatives want to get rid of all government control. They just want people to have a wee bit more personal choice and personal responsibility than the other side wishes. The whole "teach a man to fish" vs. "give him a fish" parable.

At least that's my understanding. Disclaimer: I suck at politics, it ain't my thing.
