These are MY traditional conservative values:

All human life should be valued - whether in the womb or someone lying in a bed with no supposed brain function. Valuing human life includes protecting the victims of crime and not the perpetrators.

Animal "welfare" not "rights" - no abusive, inhumane treatment

Marriage is between a man and woman

Give a good days work for a good days pay

Give a Hand Up no hand outs

Take personal responsibility for your actions

Be honest in all dealings

Be good stewards of the earth but not to the detriment of mankind

Honor the country you live in by respecting the flag, national anthem, and support for the military

If you want something you need to sacrifice and work for it, not expect the government or others to hand it to you. This goes for education, housing, etc

That's a start....

I guess you think of me as a redneck but I also lived in Southern Cal for a good time and never considered the fact that blacks shouldn't be treated any differently than myself.

One of the women I most admire is Condi Rice. I would have loved for her to run for president. I would have campaigned to the max for her!

Oh, Martin Luther King was making his way in the world when I was having babies, washing clothes in a wringer washer, using cloth diapers, baking bread, helping with our dairy herd and farming and we didn't have a tv and so I wasn't too interested in the world of politics at the time. I admire him because he didn't think people should expect handouts either.

I love Bill Cosby, Tiger Woods, Yo Murphy, Kobe Bryant, Michael Steele, Will Smith.... and many others that just happen to be "black". Color of skin has never been a concern for me. Obama just happens to be black and is headed in the wrong way to suit me.
