Conservative insights are truths discovered or ideas implemented, for the benefit of all, as a result of the conservative movement:
- that Reagan's public exhortation to "tear down this wall" would result, merely a few years later, in tearing down the Berlin Wall[1]
- that decreasing taxes would increase government revenue[2]
- that more guns leads to less crime[3]
- that "Choose Life" license plates would be popular and productive
- that requiring abortionists to have hospital privileges within 30 miles of the operation to handle complications would reduce victimizing abortions[4]
- that Hollywood Values leads to higher incidence of breast cancer, because they are more likely to have an abortion, which can cause breast cancer, at younger ages, and early death from drug addiction and depression.
