What A Conservative Is Not

There seems to be a common belief amongst evangelicals that somebody is conservative because they are against abortion or against gay marriage. This is not true. A conservative is one who believes in lower taxes, less regulation, a smaller government role, less handouts from the government and a few other issues. The social issues also help mark a conservative but are NOT the sole reasons someone is a conservative. We evangelicals really need to open up our minds to more issues than just what the Christian Coalition passes out before elections.

What is your view on the governments role? What about taxes? How does that effect your family? What about defense? What is a valid reason for war? These are all questions that we should look at along with the social views.
