To me, to be a conservative means to conserve the good parts of America and to conserve our Constitution.

This much is true: you have been lied to.

Why is patriotism thought to be blind loyalty to the government and the politicians who run it, rather than loyalty to the principles of liberty and support for the people? Real patriotism is a willingness to challenge the government when it's wrong.

Why is it that some people, you know, think we should obey the Constitution sometimes and not other times.

America's heart and soul is more embedded in our love of liberty, self-reliance, and tolerance than by our foreign policy, driven by powerful special interests with little regard for the Constitution.

It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking.

There is nothing wrong with describing Conservatism as protecting the Constitution, protecting all things that limit government. Government is the enemy of liberty. Government should be very restrained.
