Conservatism per Timothy Geoglein

Timothy Goeglein, longtime deputy director of public liason for George W. Bush sums up what conservatism means to him:

"The essential nature of 21st century American conservatism is a view that the federal government is too large and should be relimited; that governments, like families, should live within their budgets; that the market economy is the road to prosperity and is consistent with human nature; that our defense budget must be robust in defense of our liberty; that above all we need to preoccupy ourselves with the moral framework of our freedom; and that we need to preserve the values of Western civilization in the Greco-Roman but especially the Judeo-Christian traditions as the bulwark of virtue that nurtures freedom."
