What We Are For

President Joe Biden's press conference last week was a total train wreck, stoking racial discord and giving Russian President Vladimir Putin a green light to invade Ukraine. He asked one particular question , however, that I would like to address. While discussing the opposition to his radical agenda, Biden asked, "What are Republicans for?"

As former President Ronald Reagan's chief domestic policy adviser and a leader in the conservative, pro-family movement for decades, I have a pretty good understanding of what conservatives are for. And I'd like to answer Biden's question because it is, as he put it, "the fundamental question" facing our country today.

Biden and his left-wing allies certainly have their vision for the country. And after they've occupied the Oval Office and controlled both the House and the Senate for the past year, 70% now feel we're on the wrong track , and Biden's approval ratings are plumbing new depths. On every major issue, more people than not feel Biden's policies are making things worse . There is an alternative to Biden's stunning record of failure — record crime, record inflation, record illegal immigration, record spending, and record COVID-19 deaths.

So, what are conservatives for? On values, we are for the sanctity of human life. No more abortion on demand. No taxpayer funding of abortion. Most people are for these things, too. We are for restoring the Constitution and protecting the freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and the right to bear arms.

We are for strong families and ensuring parents, not government, control our children's education. We are for school choice. We are for teaching our children about American greatness and the uniqueness of American founding, not Marxist nonsense such as critical race theory. Most people are for these things, too.
