More than a beginning

The Twelve Points will not teach a conservative everything that he needs to know. For the sake of brevity, I had to remove a lot of sub-points that I do believe that a good conservative ought to understand, and there is no complete substitute for a long-term study of these ideas. (Ideally, this study would be centered around the reading of books that were written for a purpose other than to excite and anger the reader. It is in disregarding and discarding facts, logic, and proven wisdom for unsound reasons that liberals have mutated their philosophy into the grotesque spectacle that it is. A conservative cannot be a strong conservative unless he is learned.) In their current form, however, the Twelve Points contain conservative principles, observations, objectives, and other ideas in the most concentrated form I can imagine. They'll jumpstart the philosophical educations of many conservatives while filling in the gaps in others' knowledge and understanding of conservatism.  They are not the final cure for all of conservatism's problems, but they are more than a beginning.
