Guest: The Honorable Mike Johnson, Congressman for the 4th District of Louisiana

Seven Core Principles of Conservatism

• Individual Freedom

1. Individual liberties should be protected against the imposition of government intrusion - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

• Limited Government

1. When government expands, liberty contracts

• Rule of Law

1. No king above the law, everyone subject to the law

• Peace through Strength

1. Provide for the common defense - citizens, property, interests abroad…part of the Preamble of the Constitution

• Fiscal Responsibility

1. Most significant threat to national security - our national debt

• Free Markets

1. Allows for innovation and expansion - gives people the liberty to take risks and pursue their dreams

• Human Dignity

1. Everyone created in the image of God and has intrinsic value
