America was founded on basic principles. We, at Conservative Ideals, believe the following:
1. We believe in God. All our founding fathers believed in Him, so do we.
2. We believe that America is good. We are not perfect, but when we put our faith in God, we are a force for good in the world.
3. Honesty. We try to live our lives honestly, and as such, we expect our leaders to be honest.
4. The family is the most important part of our society. Thomas Jefferson said: “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.”
5. We are a Nation of laws. “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson
6. "...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..." U.S. Constitution (Notice that it does not state that everyone will have the same amount of success...)
7. We believe in Charity, however, “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity..." George Washington
8. We are Patriots, we fight for our Nation, we defend the Constitution; as such, we are entitled to disagree with the Govenrment, and our opinion is to be respected.
9. Thomas Jefferson considered the people to be the source of authority for the government. As such, government works for us, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
