Conservative - What I Stand For

~ I am a Conservative Here is who I am and what I stand for ~ C onserving what is worth preserving O pen to changing what's not working N ot willing to throw out the baby with the bathwater S teadfast when those around me are scurrying E nabling my children and relatives to succeed R eligious in the ecumenical sense of the word V itally interested in my community's welfare A larmed by the rise in incivility in public discourse T ender-hearted and giving to the stranger, the widow, the orphan I nterested in politics, but not obsessed with it V oracious reader of classical fiction and non-fiction E nduring privation graciously, with faith and trust in God
