The Conservative movement is one founded on Principle. Anyone can move with the tide, but only a Conservative can stand strong in the fiercest of waves.
Many in this age believe they are beyond Principle, or that dropping all principles in pursuit of a political win is a just cause. However, this line of thinking leads us all to our current condition: Democrats and Republicans, equally corrupt and able to swap parties with no changes in personal views.
Gone are the days when policy or conviction matter, though the terms are still thrown around like a gnarled up frisbee, to be fetched once more by the adoring family dog.

We are the ones that elect our leadership; we and no other. While we speak of keeping true to our convictions, we give up on them while we vote.
Our leaders are the people we elect. We must then be, more fiercely than ever, a strong and stable rock in the political rapids.
While it is foolish to expect total agreement on all issues, agreement on three issues make the rest irrelevant: A small government, a static interpretation of our Constitution and a federal government accountable to us.
With these three, we can claim our responsibility, live our freedom and preserve our union.
