We believe that policies should be supported—or not supported—-on their own merit, not because of ideology.

We believe that fiscal conservative issues can be addressed separately from political social issues.

We believe fiscal conservative actions include these:

• limited government & spending
• reduction of  taxes and the federal deficit
• free trade and deregulation of the economy
• reduction of  waste and more judicial use of entitlement programs
• privacy of individuals and protection of private property
• transparency of government

We believe, in contrast, that “liberalism” of today means “free” reign of government intrusion on our civil liberties and on personal assets and freedoms; that it means “free” spending on special interests, frivolous spending and unnecessary programs.  Liberalism today means “free” to ignore the tenets of free trade, and “free” to violate individual protections and that of private property. In the 21st century, “liberalism” has evolved to “totalitarianism” which “seeks total control of all aspects of society, and full control of the economy.”  It means “free” of constitutional guidelines, “free” to treat commodities of one group as “rights” of another group, and “free” to have wide gaps between statement and reality.

We believe that the notions of “liberalism” of the Founding Fathers seem to now be the torch of Fiscal Conservatives instead: those liberties of private property, transparency of government, free speech, religious tolerance, limited welfare state, popular sovereignty, national self-determination, and a free market economy are now the crusade of all citizens who regard themselves as Fiscal Conservatives, no matter what their party affiliation.
