Conservative Credo (Barbara J. Elliott, April 14th, 2026, Imaginative Conservative)
Because man is fallible by nature, the conservative seeks to limit the damage that can be done through the abuse of power by limiting its concentration.
The conservative fosters the fullness of human potential by protecting the freedom and dignity of each person, acknowledging that responsibility comes with freedom. Rights and duties are always linked.
For the conservative, each man and woman is equal in dignity and equal before the law, but gloriously individual and unequal in talents, aptitudes, and outcomes. The conservative celebrates the uniqueness of individuals and does not level to eliminate differences.
It’s how we avoided the damage Reason did to the Continent.
