Viewpoint

Woozle notes: I have found it difficult to locate good sources on the Conservative philosophy, in part because it has become heavily politicized and in part because the usage of the term seems to be changing. I'll add bits as I find them, but others should feel free to contribute.

One of the cornerstones of the Conservative philosophy is personal responsibility – the idea that each individual is solely responsible for his/her own well-being; government exists solely to ensure that the rules are enforced, which includes protection from hostile external forces.

Politics

Conservatives in the United States are generally aligned with the Republican Party and sometimes with the United States Libertarian Party.
