Senator To Microsoft: What Was That You Said About Wanting More H-1B Workers?

I think this Rush Limbaugh quote does a good job summarizing modern day conservatism:

We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism. And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation--the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people.^

I think ideally that is what conservatives want to stand for, though in practice it may be quite different.

In practice it's very different to the tune of big government and using faith as a license to ignore reason.

There's no "may" just an "is".

I'm a libertarian. I'm with you.

I'm just saying it's what most conservatives believe in.
