Unfortunately/fortunately I've gotten very involved in politics. I was at dinner the other night with a gentleman that is running for office and the one thing I keep telling people is Conservatism wins. When I say conservative I'm not referring to the religious right, I'm talking about conservative policies. These key policies (fiscal responsibility, Freedom of succeeding, Freedom of choice, and constitutional adherence) if discussed in a manner that explains them to people, will always win. The problem is most people allow for others to shape them, this is a tactic that will create failure every single time.
I actually consider myself far right but not in the manner that most people see the term. I base it off of the Barry Goldwater Conservative far right mind set. While most think of this as a religious statement, I'm sorry but decisions based upon ones personal determination of doctrine is never a good thing. Granted every decision a person makes is based upon their moral compass so it is a fine line. Morality and spirituality tend to go hand in hand.
Just my two cents.
