Last week I cross posted Mark Alexander’s “You Might Be a Liberal If...” which was a list with links profiling America’s deluded Left. Ergo I feel compelled to post this week’s Alexander post “You Might Be a Conservative If...”
Just as an aside yesterday I urged readers to place Danny Jeffrey’s Fix Bayonets Library on their resource list to be armed with information to confront Leftists ruining America. This Mark Alexander Post should also serve as a resource to counter Leftists with Conservative Principles that keep America good.

You Might Be a Conservative If...
And Especially If...

“Our conflict is not likely to cease so soon as every good man would wish. The measure of iniquity is not yet filled; and unless we can return a little more to first principles, and act a little more upon patriotic ground, I do not know when it will…” –George Washington (1779)
As a follow-up to my profile on the attributes of contemporary liberals, “You Might Be a Liberal If…,” I offer this look at the attributes associated with today’s conservatives.
Too often, political “Left v Right” labels are applied without conveying anything substantive about the beliefs or worldviews of the individual upon whom the label has been conferred.
So what’s in a name?
To answer that question, I’ve reviewed my own lists of conservative principles in order to better profile those who identify as “conservative.” Again, with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy:
You Might Be a Conservative If You…
…still “hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
…understand the principle of Constitutional Federalism as reiterated by President Reagan’s executive order on Federalism.
…think that Barack Hussein Obama and his NeoCom cadres are the greatest national security threat to American Liberty and our constitutional republic.
…see the election of an utterly unqualified and inexperienced “community organizer” to the most powerful office in the world as proof of how profoundly naive and unserious the American public can be.
…credit the foreign policy fecklessness of our current president for having enabled the “Russian Spring.”
…abhor the oppression of our First Amendment rights to religious expression by DoD and other government agencies.
…know that the words “separation of church and state” do not appear in our Constitution, neither in text or spirit.
…refuse to tolerate the Rainbow Mafia’s intolerance of divergent views, as with the recent persecution of Phil Robertson and Brendan Eich.
…understand that the 14th Amendment does not authorize citizenship for “anchor babies” and their kinfolk.
…know that profiling potential terrorists is more effective than randomly patting down children and 80-year-old grandmothers.
…know that the near-economic collapse in 2008 was rooted in Democrat economic policies initiated by Bill Clinton in 1994.
…know that the words “fundamentally transforming the United States of America” are a euphemism for “statist tyranny.”
…see clearly the hypocrisy of Obama’s rhetoric about “income inequality” while he lives like a king on redistributed wealth.
…reject the Left’s global warming hysteria and recognize the Left’s real agenda is regulating free enterprise.
…are outraged by the Obama administration’s alteration of the Benghazi talking points in order to protect Obama’s foreign policy image ahead of the 2012 election.
…know that Barack Obama’s Leftmedia sycophants are perpetuating a fraud when they pretend to be “journalists.”
…object to the Leftmedia blackout of black-on-white crime, which is statistically far more frequent than white-on-black crime.
…see the bankruptcy and desperation of the Democrat Party reflected its choice of Bill Clinton as its spokesman.
…are aware that the GOP’s “establishment Republicans” are a key element in the Democrats' current “divide and conquer” strategy.
…view fratricidal political infighting as the biggest obstacle to restoring Liberty and Constitutional integrity.
…honor the real spirit of the grassroots Tea Party Movement despite its shameful misrepresentation by the Leftmedia.
…understand that the model for restoring Liberty is Ronald Reagan and that our nation is at another Time for Choosing.
…appreciate what George Washington meant when he said, “Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.”
And finally, if you know that the most cost-effective way you can promote Essential Liberty, help restore constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and advocate for free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values, is to support The Patriot Post, you are most assuredly a Conservative – and a Patriot!
