I don't quite understand 'em. It seems to me the right-wing conservatives believe that Man has and will have no effect on this round world,and that capital can be trusted to take care of everyone well as long as they will work cheaply enough.

If one can buy it he should be allowed to use it, regardless of anyone else.
Darwin rules, and if an animal can't survive in this world, well, species have always gone extinct. Sad, but that's the way it goes.

Obviously, there is and will always be enough clean air and water for everyone. That's a given.

"The only good laws are those which protect property" seems to be a tenet. Everyone should have all the weapons they can buy, safety regulations should be left to the marketplace, and conservation is best left voluntary. Fishing should be left to the marketplace. As stocks are depleted, they'll stop catching them, won't they? It all works out.

The only taxes should go to fund an army, the purpose of which is to teach other countries how to behave properly. And maybe roads. And, a police force, which will protect property.

Respect for each other will be taught in homes, along with the proper use of sub-machine guns. There is no need for civil rights laws. People will naturally respect the rights of those "others" who deserve respect, and if they don't get respect it's because they don't deserve it.

Education is best left to families, the State Religion should be that of whoever is President as long as he's Christian.

There should be open borders except for people trained in my profession.

Microsoft, GM, 3M, and the other multi-national companies know what's best for people, and it would be a more efficient world if they were left alone. Raw capital will take care of those people who are willing to work cheaply enough, and if they aren't, well, from the beginning of time those species which couldn't find food starved. That's God's Will, not Man's.

I don't know what they believe in except the unfettered power of money.
