Let's just face it: most people identify with a certain ideology because it makes them feel good about themselves. Leftists are on a high when they defend the rights of immigrants and poor people, liberals secretly stroke themselves while talking about equality...what about us?

The problem for Conservatives have always been that we've been accused of being selfish. How can we feel good about ourselves at all? Most polls indicate we're simply pleased with the way things are. Here's an additional suggestion: because we care about our families and ancestors.

Doing what's right and living your life the traditional way means you please your parents and the people who came before you and believed in the same values. Liberals and leftists might do good for the no-gooders, but we Conservatives do good for the people that raised us and the traditions that taught us important lessons about life. I think that's a good reason to feel good about what you believe in.
