How To Fix Everything

Conservatives have been giving themselves a bad name lately (OK, forever). Classical Liberal politics is closer to what modern conservatism should be -- fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I think an "intelligent conservative post" should read something like this:

"Reduce taxes, reduce spending, shrink the government, (get it to) quit spying on Americans, stop printing fiat money, re-define (eliminate?) the Fed, link our currency to gold, stop beating other countries over the head, start acting like a business partner instead of a bully, stop spending money persecuting and prosecuting drug-users, promote the free market and the free exchange of ideas and commerce, promote a strong (self) defense, institute individual savings accounts and individual medical savings accounts, phase out social security, eliminate all government subsidies to corporations (including Medicare), eliminate all government subsidies to education, to housing and to illegal immigrants, enforce term limits on all politicians and encourage gun ownership among law-abiding citizens."

This would be a good start.
