Conservative Pledge I will support the People's right to self-defense. I will be devoted to the principle of blind justice. I recognize the media for its bias, bullying and deception. I will emphasize self-reliance and being able to keep the fruits of one's labor. I will promote teaching self-help rather than dependence on government and others. I will place conservative values and principles above personal desires, weaknesses, fears and regrets. I will emphasize charity, with its unexpected benefits, rather than support compulsory tax-and-spend programs. I will have a never-ending quest for the truth, despite obstacles based on emotion and personal experience and will spread such truths for the benefit of all. I will give those in authority due respect, however, not to the extent of taking orders or assertions that are contrary to conservative values or moral logic. I will emphasize humility and open-mindedness instead of the arrogant certainty about one's own views. I will not simply complain, but rather will take practical action toward improving my situation. I will use self-control as opposed to a self-indulgent search for instant gratification of desires. I will downplay the significance of wealth, disparities in wealth and materialism in general. I will recognize and utilize the benefits of competition and hard work in my daily life. I understand that a rising tide lifts all boats, e.g. tax cuts benefit all. I will recognize the power and liquidity of the free market. I will emphasize self-restraint against hurtful activities. I will reject the deification of government officials. I will support those who prove frugal and efficient.
