I hate to generalize, but the question seems to require it:
1. Defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman
2. Protection for unborn children
3. Strong defense, including adequate funding for our military
4. Being proactive against terrorism
5. Support for Israel's right to exist
6. Separation of "church" and state - not God and state
7. Less taxation
8. Giving individuals more control over their money
9. Passing initiatives to help small businesses succeed
10.Promoting more involvement of churches and private institutions in providing for the underprivileged and making this less a role for the federal government
11. Developing an American economy that is not dependent on foreign oilEven though Bush has pushed for No Child Left Behind, this is not a typically conservative stance, and I personally disagree with his handling of education reform.
I personally favor strong protections of the environment, though this is not typically a conservative stance.
Now, what do "liberal" Americans stand for?
