As we conservatives come into ascendancy again, and we save our way of life domestically and export it around the world, we must not degenerate into a mass movement. That is always the temptation and easily occurs.
Here is how to prevent it:
1. We are moderate, not fanatical.
2. We force none to accept our politics, foreign policy or way of life: joining us must be their idea.
3. We let God guide us in case we have gone astray.
4. While we are the world's cop, we must not stumble over into imperialism, colonialism and empire-building.
5. We must remain individualists, unwilling to coalesce into a tight clique and mob, the source of mass movement adherence.
6. It is excesses like these that will kill our reform and convert us into fascists, and the peril is real, and the temptations are many. We must be conservatives that love freedom, and allow freedom for others.
