For the last one hundred years, the mainstream media has been allowed to define our politicians: who's conservative, who's liberal, who's radical right wing. In their world, of course, there's no such category as radical left wing.Until now, there's been no defined base line. All these descriptions have been relative, as well as inaccurate. The purpose of this book is to define in concrete examples exactly what conservatism means. Once we understand what conservatism is, then we can judge for ourselves just how each politician fits into the spectrum. It will give each reader the tools to decide for himself just how his own representatives "represent" his own values, and allow him to cast his vote accordingly.Why Conservatives Are Always Right examines this nation's founding principles, and explains how those principles allowed this new nation to become the envy of the world. It also explains how straying from those common sense principles has led to the turmoil, conflict and economic disasters that have become part of our everyday lives. This book should become a "Bible" for all conservatives.Phil Roach spent his working life in the printing business: starting, growing and selling three such businesses. He thus became an admirer of Benjamin Franklin, and took great interest in the founding principles of this country. In this vein, he has had two hundred Letters to the Editor published, explaining conservatism. Upon retirement in 2008, Roach finally had time to write a book putting together the positions he has developed over a lifetime.
