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 abstinence education leads to falling rates of teen pregnancy and STDs
- that Hollywood Values leads to higher incidence of breast cancer at younger ages, and early death from addiction and depression
