Intelligent? Conservative? In the Same Sentence?

Would anyone recognize one if they read it? (An intelligent conservative post, that is.)

Just wondering...

I mean, after all, the word "conservative" seems to have taken on a lot of meanings lately, as has "liberal."

For example, I don't believe that any of the top three presidential candidates are "conservative," including McCain.

I think that the most conservative of any of the candidates still in the running is Ron Paul, who does not seem to have much of a chance of winning, AND even he would not call himself a conservative -- I'd bet he'd rather be known as a libertarian...

So I think an "intelligent conservative post" would go something like this:

"Reduce taxes, reduce spending, shrink the government, (get it to) quit spying on Americans, stop printing money, re-define (downsize) the responsibility of the Fed, stop beating other countries over the head, start acting like a business partner as opposed to 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 retirement savings accounts and phase out social security, eliminate all government subsidies to corporations (including Medicare), enforce term limits on all politicians and encourage gun ownership among law-abiding citizens."

Just a thought...
