EXCELLENT!

Every one of your points is a gem of truth, well thought-out and clearly expressed! I especially like #5.

Well done!

A good article and expression of ideas. The Constitution, however requires us all to be Conservatives. The pragmatic approach to Conservatism does not take us back to the Founders. We all need to be more radical in our insistence on the government cutting back to Constitutional requirements only.

Here's the problem I have with #5:
Liberals believe mankind is irredeemably bad. Conservatives believe humanity is destined to do ever-greater things; and though some of us are truly terrible, most of us are ultimately good.

Liberals seem to believe serial killers, dictators, and child molesters are basically good and can always be given one more chance. Conservatives recognize that some people are basically evil and must be stopped as early as possible.
