An Atheist Conservative

Hi folks, right off the bat I want it out in the open that while I do consider myself a conservative, I don't base my views in that of any faith.  Logic and Reason direct my moral compass.  This isn't to say I don't believe in any of the ideals presented in the Bible, I believe strongly in The Golden Rule: Due unto others as you would have them do unto you.  I do believe the Constitution of the United States, I believe that smaller government and tax reform could make this country great.  I do believe that we need our military to be out in the world as well as at home.  On that last note, I only feel that way because if we were to say, withdraw our troops from hostile territory, our enemies would take it as a sign of weakness, that even the great USA flew in fear of their mighty power, and they could grow the confidence to try and strike us. 

I believe that of all the educational neglect our country burdens our children with, a lack of economics at the elementary level is the greatest, and I think the average American's debt is proof of that.  Schools leave this education, which I find vital, in the hands of parents.  Were parents competent enough to take on this role, we wouldn't have our current financial crisis, as the average American would be fiscal enough to understand what they can and can't afford.

Anyway, that's just a little about myself and my views, feel free to comment.
