America's Forgotten Conservative Principles
The battle between conservative and liberal ideologies has never been more intense. While many view conservatism as merely opposition to progressive ideas, true conservatism offers a positive philosophy of hope, individual empowerment, and practical solutions. America's status as the world's preeminent superpower establishes its greatness, but its goodness stems from being a positive force globally. Despite critics who fixate on historical flaws like slavery, they ignore how America's founding actually accelerated abolition. Through American ingenuity, we've given the world countless innovations from airplanes to integrated circuits. Our nation's mission to promote freedom continues because people everywhere desire it. We've consistently fought dictatorships and communist regimes, not democracies. Free nations rarely attack each other-they become trading partners instead. America's generosity is unmatched-after the 2004 Indonesian tsunami, Americans donated an astounding $1.8 billion with over a third of Americans contributing personally. This combination of military strength, innovative spirit, and moral purpose has made America not just great, but good.
