. . .Tony Corrado spread his large flag like a blanket over a whole basket of spaghetti-intertwined Leftist mythologies. To rebut;
- Conservatives are not parochial, that is, limited in their scope or outlook.
- No one, and no collection of individuals working together, intend to adversely impact or despoil the environment.
- Conservatives do not define what it means for a Leftist to be patriotic.
- No one wants to deplete our energy reserves. In fact, history has shown that as technology improves, reserves of energy and all minerals, including water, go up.
- Profit, capital formation, innovation, and investment in capital equipment, make the modern world possible: the world where people live longer, happier, safer, more peaceful lives. Without the necessities for a good life in place, few people would see nature as tranquil and beautiful.
- Regulatory planning by non-stakeholders gave us suburban sprawl, expensive mass transits to nowhere, and continues to force expensive economic dislocations throughout the country that materially degrade American capacity in countless enterprises, and quality of life.
- Governments should not intervene in markets. Law appropriately defines the elemental terms for all economic transactions. Beyond that, law used to direct the substance of those transactions is a corruption of our Constitution.
- Trust the outcome of voluntary markets. Don’t trust people who think they know more than the collected wisdom of free people, each acting in their own best interest.
