I think that conservatism gets a bad rap, and is misunderstood. Now, take into account that I am in a non-traditional relationship of 29 years. Actually, true conservatism is NOT the religious right that so many Americans think. It is actually a philosophy that "should" give us true freedom of individuality, rights, religious choices, etc. I don't know when this changed, but our founding Fathers, actually Liberatarians, is the true conservative thinking. Somewhere, our general population's thinking and definition of this has flip-flopped. Anyone have any facts, figures, ideas of when this attitude changed???
