Quoted from:
http://www.republicansforhumility.com/conservative.html
A genuinely conservative president does not claim that he qualifies as a believer in limited government, even though he dramatically increases the power, scope and cost of government, just because he refuses to pay for it, leaving that for future generations.
A true conservative doesn’t boast that he will cut spending and then promise so may programs that even his supporters at the Wall Street Journal complain that his agenda reads "like a litany of tiny, poll-tested programs of the kind that Dick Morris used to gin up for Bill Clinton."
A true conservative doesn’t increase discretionary domestic spending at the highest rate of growth in 40 years, creating record deficits from a surplus he inherited.
A true conservative doesn’t portray himself as a champion of free enterprise while handing out billions in contracts to cronies who are campaign contributors and letting corporate criminals name their own regulators. To the contrary, a true conservative recognizes that an impartial government free of corrupting influence, and the absence of corporate welfare, is essential to the proper functioning, fairness, and survival of the free enterprise capitalistic system in which we believe.
A true conservative does not think he’s shrunk the size of the federal bureaucracy just because he’s put it on your children's credit card.
A true conservative does not simply claim to be for “family values”, carefully selecting issues for maximum symbolic impact, then do little to advance those causes.
I also highly recommend the following article:
George Bush, The Pseudo-Conservative
President Bush appointed Alberto Gonzalez his pro-gun control, pro-affirmative action, pro-choice Attorney General...As a sitting Texas Supreme Court Justice, Alberto Gonzales actually approved a law that allowed minors to get an abortion without parental consent!
Bush is a liberal? When did that happen?
Nick, I thought you were smarter than this.
I certainly didn't. Whatever gave you that impression?
