I am a conservative who supports limited government, obviously.
I also agree with comments Justice Scalia made before he ascended to the Court that conservatives aren't proactive enough when in power.

And a final comment...
We've lost the idea of objective truth. People no longer think they can make a definitive judgment on what is right and what is wrong. That's a terrible error.
