"And I still would like to hear a list of qualities that you love and see typified in the conservative."

A worthy, strong desire and pursuit of personal responsibility.

A very strong sense that Government's care doesn't diminish the need to care for those in ones immediate sphere of influence.

A good sense of the good in order. That's not conformity for its own sake (which I think that the liberal rightly fears) -- rather, not dismissing order as something "beneath my dignity".

A good sense of justice -- a proper understanding of its function improved by being "blind".

A good sense of the proper dignity of man. (I so often find Liberals backing accidentally into, for example, the racism implied in affirmative action -- a racism that assumes one race weaker than another and in need of a boost)

A better capacity for judging its own than the liberal.
