What do conservatives stand for?

We know what they say they stand for but we know that is a lie. What do they really stand for?

They are a Party as devoid of ideas as the Know-Nothings and the Mugwumps.

How do they continue to survive?

Because there, they'll always give you some amorphous ideal like "freedom" or "liberty".

It's when they get around to telling you what they're AGAINST, that's when they get very specific.

Pretty much everything that would guarantee real freedom, self-determination, security and liberty for everyone.
