Preach it, brother!!

A real conservative party would base their decisions in science and reason.

A real conservative party wouldn't give a shit about your religion or sexual orientation.

A real conservative party would want to reduce government programs that did not produce the results they promised.

A real conservative party would avoid committing military force to foreign engagements.

A real conservative party would see the waste of money it is to incarcerate drug addicts, and adopt effective (and fiscally responsible) drug programs like Amsterdam and Portugal.

A real conservative would understand that every new law or regulation creates multiple unintended loopholes, and would avoid creating new legislation until it was actually warranted by data.

Wouldn't it be nice to have actual conservatives supporting actually conservative principles? Having debates about methodologies and numbers, rather than whether the 10 Commandments should be on City Hall?

I keep thinking there is room for a party that takes centrist liberal positions and centrist conservative positions, and leaves the Republican and Democratic parties to deal with their lunatic fringes.
