loser' in American history!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conservatives in our country achieved great success through anti-communism and national development.\u003cbr\u003e But it is only a strategy for one era, and by no means a universal principle that transcends time.\u003cbr\u003e Nevertheless, the conservatives clung to such a success story and fell behind in the changing times.\u003cbr\u003e The downfall of conservatism today was a disaster that was already predicted even without impeachment.\u003cbr\u003e Now, we must start again with the fundamental question, “What is conservatism?”\u003cbr\u003e One of the classics that must be referenced for this purpose is American politician Barry Goldwater's \"The Conscience of a Conservative.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The Conscience of a Conservative\" served as a spark to revive American conservatism. \u003cbr\u003eIn particular, this book, along with Russell Kirk's The Mind of Conservatism, is considered one of the two major books that led the way in American conservatism and the Republican Party.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, Russell Kirk's criticism that \"if a million Americans read his (Goldwater's) book carefully, this whole country and the world would be a better place\" is famous.\u003cbr\u003e The book sold over 3.5 million copies and had a decisive influence on American politics.\u003cbr\u003e Even today, it is republished in various editions almost every year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's

grow and humans become dependent beings.\u003cbr\u003e The author's sorrow is that the 'conscience of conservatives' is wounded when he sees freedom being violated and human dignity being damaged in it.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e People often think that the government can do anything.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, I even think that the more work you do, the better.\u003cbr\u003e But as power grows, it tends to multiply itself more and more.\u003cbr\u003e That is why the saying “absolute power corrupts absolutely” came about.\u003cbr\u003e The founding fathers also recognized this point clearly and reflected it in the Constitution.\u003cbr\u003e The Constitution is, in a word, 'a check on the natural tendency of government to expand in the direction of absolutism.'\u003cbr\u003e --- p.20\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJust as indiscriminate corporate activities have been effectively regulated through anti-monopoly laws, there is a need to legally decentralize and restrain the excessive power of labor unions.\u003cbr\u003e It is contradictory to impose various regulations on the concentration of power in corporations while taking no action against the concentration of power in labor unions.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conservatives know that to regard a person as part of a homogeneous majority is to condemn him to ultimate slavery.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.51\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A conservative's conscience is wounded by anyone who seeks to degrade the dignity of individual human existence.\u003cbr\u003e “Conservatives today are therefore fighting against dictators who rule by fear, and also against relatively decent collectivists who demand our permission to rule over humanity as gods.” --- p.53\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“(Americans) will find comfort in being protected, thinking that they have chosen their own guardians.\u003cbr\u003e Everyone allows themselves to be led by the reins.\u003cbr\u003e For he thinks that it is not any one individual, nor any class of individuals, but the people at large who hold the end of the chain.” --- p.71\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e National welfareism transforms individuals from dignified, hard-working, and self-reliant spiritual beings into dependent animals without their knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e Under the welfare state, there is no way to avoid this damage to one's personality.\u003cbr\u003e Welfare programs inevitably foster the idea that the government owes individuals a debt for the benefits it provides, and that individuals are entitled to those benefits as a matter of right.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We must defend the American people, American property, and American honor wherever we may be. \u003cbr\u003eWe may not be able to make foreigners love us.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, no country has ever succeeded in doing so.\u003cbr\u003e But we can make them respect us.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.250
