We asked the AI engine, ChatGPT to write a 1000 word defense of Conservatism and here is what it generated. How do you think it did? Do you agree? Disagree? What did it leave out. Let us know!

Here it is:

Political conservatism is a worldview that values tradition, limited government, individual liberty, and personal responsibility. It is an approach that emphasizes the importance of preserving existing institutions, cultural norms, and social values, while at the same time promoting policies that encourage individual initiative, self-reliance, and economic growth. In this essay, I will present a defense of political conservatism by examining some of its core principles and their role in shaping modern politics.

First and foremost, political conservatism is rooted in a belief in the value of tradition. Conservatives recognize the importance of preserving long-standing institutions and cultural practices, as they provide stability, continuity, and a sense of community. This is not to say that conservatives are opposed to change, but rather that they believe that change should be undertaken carefully and with an eye towards preserving what is valuable and worthwhile in society. Conservatives view tradition as a repository of wisdom and experience that can inform our decisions and actions in the present, and they believe that it is essential to preserve this heritage for future generations.

Another core principle of political conservatism is limited government. Conservatives believe that government should have a limited role in the lives of individuals, and that it should not interfere unnecessarily in the workings of society. This is based on a belief that individuals should have the freedom to make their own choices and pursue their own interests, without undue interference from the state. Conservatives recognize that government can play an important role in providing essential services and protecting individual rights, but they are skeptical of expansive government programs that can be inefficient, costly, and bureaucratic.

In addition to limited government, political conservatism emphasizes individual liberty. Conservatives believe that individuals should have the freedom to make their own choices, pursue their own goals, and express themselves without fear of interference or censorship. This includes the freedom to engage in economic activity, to express their political and religious beliefs, and to associate with others who share their values and interests. Conservatives believe that individual liberty is essential for a vibrant and dynamic society, and that it should be protected at all costs.

Finally, political conservatism places a strong emphasis on personal responsibility. Conservatives believe that individuals should take responsibility for their own lives, and that they should not rely excessively on government or other institutions to solve their problems. This includes taking responsibility for one’s own economic well-being, personal health, and relationships. Conservatives recognize that personal responsibility is essential for a healthy and prosperous society, and that it promotes self-reliance, resilience, and a sense of accountability.

In recent years, political conservatism has come under attack from critics who accuse it of being regressive, intolerant, and insensitive to the needs of marginalized groups. These criticisms are often based on a misunderstanding of what political conservatism actually stands for. For example, critics might argue that conservatives are opposed to civil rights or equality, when in fact conservatives believe that these values are essential for a just and fair society. Similarly, critics might argue that conservatives are opposed to environmental protection, when in fact conservatives believe that it is possible to protect the environment while also promoting economic growth and individual freedom.

It is important to recognize that political conservatism is not a monolithic ideology, and that there are many different strands of conservative thought. Some conservatives may place more emphasis on traditional values and social order, while others may focus more on economic freedom and individual rights. However, all conservatives share a commitment to preserving what is valuable in society, promoting individual liberty and personal responsibility, and limiting the role of government in people’s lives.

In conclusion, political conservatism is a worldview that emphasizes the importance of tradition, limited government, individual liberty, and personal responsibility. It is an approach that values what is good and worthwhile in society, while also recognizing the need for change and adaptation. While political conservatism has come under attack in recent years, it remains a vital and important force in modern politics.

Election Fraud is Massive and On-Going in America

Across the U.S., the magnitude of voter fraud that occurs year after year, election after election, is staggering.

Jay DeLancey is founder and president of the North Carolina Voter Integrity Project, and has much to say about voting in America:

Our system begs for transparency at all points along the election process. Who can vote, who did vote, how did they vote, and what was the tally? Today, unfortunately voter fraud is real and of enormous magnitude, as we saw in 2020 and 2022. Nowhere is this more evident than with absentee ballots.

Who, in any voting precinct, literally visits the homes of voters who filed absentee ballots to ensure that they are out of town? Even among those who have a legitimate quest to vote by absentee ballot, who can assure that their vote is counted properly and tallied accurately?

The absentee ballot initiative started as a viable effort to increase the ability of qualified citizens to vote, but has now become into a primary tool of manipulation. The more we can see, the fairer the elections are likely to be. The less we can see, the greater the likelihood that fraud will occur. Centralized absentee ballot collection is exactly the opposite of local voting in a precinct where there’s a chance that those with whom you register or vote alongside are your neighbors.

Ensuring the Rights of Qualified Voters

The local voting precinct is better positioned to spot perpetrators of voter fraud. Local poll workers on the scene are better able to assess if you are not the person you claim to be. They will tell you to leave, but by law that’s all they can do.

They can’t retain someone and hold them until authorities arrive, even in the case of blatant voter impersonation. Why? Because in the 1960s, to safeguard the voting capability of those who had been disenfranchised, laws were passed to reduce the incidence of intimidation, accusation, and retention.

Those times have long passed, and now we need ways of ensuring that qualified voters’ civil rights are upheld. Every time an unqualified voter is allowed to cast a vote, it demeans and diminishes the rights of all citizens. As such, voter fraud is the civil rights crisis of our time.

Fraud Occurs Year After Year

If you hear from anyone or from any group that voter fraud does not exist, or that it’s minimal and inconsequential, rest assured most of these proponents believe they are in the right. As long as you vote for their candidate, they’re content to ignore the magnitude, of voter fraud that actually occurs, year after year, election after election, across the U.S. They know they are ‘right,’ so why forsake their ironclad view that voter integrity groups are secretly voter suppression groups?

We’re always asked, how do you know that voter fraud exists? We have case histories, anecdotes, cross tabulated data, eyewitness testimony, and more. Voter fraud is real and rampant. Yet, we will routinely encounter some academic, usually from some law school, saying, “The science is settled on this. Voter fraud is a myth.”

Professors will proclaim from on high declaring that few people ever engage in voter fraud. Such professors are people of influence, they teach students, write papers, give lectures, attend symposiums, and spew authoritative misinformation. Cognizant or not, the damage that they do to society is ongoing and significant.

A Mortal Threat to Democracy

“The science was settled” in the early 1500s, that the sun rotated around the earth. Copernicus and other brave souls risked death to proclaim that earth was not the center of the universe as we knew it, or even our solar system.

We swim against the tide of what was launched in the 1960s but today has morphed into a mortal threat to democracy. The challenge we all face is to guarantee transparency in elections so that everyone can see the results and, more importantly, accept the results when their candidate does not win.

Overcome Leftist Propaganda: Conservative Documentaries and Extended Interviews

In ‘ultra-woke’ America finding media outlets and information vehicles that report the truth is challenge.

Being middle-of-the-road or conservative in today’s insanely ‘woke’ America means having a hard time finding media outlets and information vehicles that report the truth. We are all far too familiar with the reality confronting us on a daily basis.

The high-tech online companies, corporate America, major newspapers, major TV networks, Hollywood, and a variety of otherwise so-called ‘journalists’ maintain an incredible, indefensible slant to the left. Many border on Marxism and outright Communism. They lie by omission, by twisting narratives, or by creating stories out of whole cloth which fit their pre-selected parallaxed narratives.

Precise, not Speculative

Here, for your edification, are 12 conservative documentaries and/or lengthy interviews. Notice the care and precision with which each has been produced, offering names, dates, facts, and figures with little or no hyperbole.
