Conservatism supports family values and has a generally more independent way of thinking. As conservatives, we believe in focusing on solving one’s own issues and making decisions for one’s self, instead of the community. Conservatives promote equal justice as opposed to the liberalist way of promoting social justice. Radical liberalist focus on allowing everyone equal opportunities regardless of skill level. Contrary to popular belief it is easily possible for conservatism to have many more positive acclamations as opposed to liberalism. It is important that we as conservatives end the liberal way of thinking before it begins to weed its way into the nation.

However, if we attempt to change the nation abruptly as the liberals may suggest, then nothing but negativity will fall among our people. All voting rights and decision making should remain in the hands of land-owners and the elite for they are the ones who were born to lead and have a better understanding of what is needed within our nation. The poor are not equipped to handle this kind of responsibility and should be ultimately left out of government without fear that their population will not be represented.
