Evil, Fascist, Racist, War-mongers
...ah, that would be the left's typical descriptive terms for conservatives.
I recently read an article that noted the stated values of a small Tea Party like conservative group called "The Lincoln Club," and was struck with the simplicity of their purpose:
..."to promote, educate and advance conservative principles of fiscal responsibility, small limited government, free enterprise, the rule of law, private property rights, and the preservation and protection of individual liberty."
I think it pretty accurately describes the core of conservative belief. But, I'm missing the part about fascism, racism, and war-mongering. Indeed, these are the values so feared and abhorred by the clowns of leftland whose worship of wall-to-wall state coercion is threatened by those who favor limits on government authority.
Clowns on parade...
