My Conservative principles are based entirely on my own common sense. When conservatism becomes Dogma, without thought or intelligent pragmatism, a doctrine that can be read from Reagan's diaries and apply to any situation from here to eternity, it ceases to be true conservatism. Case in point, If your principles cause inaction, and the collapse of the economy, they are of no use to the security of your own nation. I am starting to believe that the only answer to 10 solid years of this insane socialist policy is not going to resemble conservatism. There is no precedent for this.
It's like someone who takes good care of them self and vows never to take medicine, because they don't need it, They get a disease from an unhealthy neighbor and never adjust their thinking. Their behavior didn't cause the problem.... but now the problem is so far out of hand that they have to do something that they otherwise would not do. It's time to take our medicine, or we may become fatally ill. The most important things to seek in this economic debate are oversight, fairness, and something all conservatives understand.....Profit. If we focus on those 3 things we can make this work.
