A "conservative" in the American political context is someone who wants to conserve the principles this free republic was founded upon.

In our nation's charter, the Declaration of Independence, what those principles are are laid out quite clearly. Our form of government and our liberty are premised on the self-evident truth that all men are CREATED equal, ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR with certain unalienable rights, and that the raison d'être of human government is the protection of those rights.

How can someone who denies what the Founders called "self-evident," or "as plain as the nose on your face," conserve what they can't see and that they deny?

How can someone conserve something they don't even understand?
