To the Editor:
I consider myself a Reagan conservative; fiscally conservative, favoring small government, laissez-faire economy, low income and corporate taxes, limited regulations and free enterprise. But contemporary times also requires a divide about the way one act and the issues he stand for. This is why I could never be a liberal:
• I could never be so hypocritical to live with a wall surrounding my home yet deny the same for my country’s border as “immoral.”
• I could never purposefully attempt to completely destroy an individual’s reputation to hold up the confirmation of a Supreme Court seat.
• I could neither instigate nor support the impeachment of a President before he spent day one in the White House.
• I could never deny 1st Amendment rights to those speakers I disagree with.
• I could never support sanctuary cities nor ignore immigration laws to inflate a population for political advantage.
• I could never hate a President, much less hate him so passionately as to allow my hatred to over-shadow the good of the country.
I could probably think of a hundred in today’s climate, but these six are the principal reasons I stand on the right side of the isle.
