A conservative acts in the present, embraces the best of the past, and works to preserve what is good for the future. In general we want to keep what works and has worked very well for over 220 years. Progressives and socialist want to destroy what works and rebuild something else, a godless Marxist system. A system without morals or values and freedoms. To that end we must return to God as a nation and we are all responsible to know all we can about who we elect.
