What Conservatives Aren't

In this column by John Hawkins, he details and debunks some of the popular misconceptions about Conservatives.

Condensed version:

• Conservatives don't dislike minorities.
• Conservatives don't want women kept barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.
• Conservatives aren't anti-science.
• "Conservative" and "Republican" aren't necessarily the same thing.
• Conservatives aren't theocrats.
• Conservatives don't rig elections.
• Conservatives don't want to pollute the environment.
• Conservatives aren't in the pocket of the rich.

Obvious to those of us who are Conservative, but sometimes it helps to spell things out for those other people.
