1. Read up on conservativism,

and what it's really supposed to be. In today's world, I might be considered - in some ways - a conservative. So might you.

How the word is used today is a total and utter corruption of the philosophy behind the conservative movement in this country. Don't let them fool you - they're just angry bigots who co-opted a label and then made it into something that would make the founders of that movement gag and turn away.
