While in a conversation about being a conservative, a fellow conservative and I were talking about where we stood on policies. As we were comparing notes, I realized that she was conservative in finances alone--not caring about the positions that are social in nature, but rather how our money is being spent.
While I care immensely about where our money is going and how to shovel our way out of debt and dependence on other countries, we have to stand strong on the values and issues that fight for others. If we neglect to fight for unborn children in favor of saving a dollar or two (which I definitely want to do!), we are just as dense as those who are recklessly spending the money that we are concerned about to begin with. If we divide as a party on these issues, then we as a group lose our focus and do not have the power to plunge forward straight ahead.
We have to protect our mission as an entire package or risk tearing our entire party apart.
