Conservative values include:
- placing ideas and principles above personal desire
- emphasizing charity rather than compulsory tax-and-spend programs
- teaching self-help
- supporting self-defense
- recognizing the media for its bias, bullying and deception.
- downplaying significance of wealth, disparities in wealth, and materialism in general[1]
- emphasizing self reliance and being able to keep the fruits of one's labor
- giving primacy to God's creation and God's law in judging all worldly matters
- eliminating government regulation of the free market
- understanding that a rising tide lifts all boats, e.g. that when tax cuts are given they help everyone.
(please add)
Conservative values recognize the adversarial nature of politics, and life. As a result of their ability to deal with adversity, conservative values are superb in defending against addiction, anxiety, depression, self-destructive behavior, and other mental disorders.
