- Republican - While Republicans often hold some conservative values, still to this day the party does not formerly endorse "conservative values" in their platform definition.
- Democrat - A party that was once much more conservative and embraced by many of our grandparents. Nevertheless, the party now has fully endorsed special interest and anti-conservative policies.
- Libertarian - The focal policy on their platform is "individual sovereignty", while this is promising in the sense of individual liberties, this always has the potential to negate the idea of moral ethics defined by a sovereign creator.
- American Conservative Party - This group also embraces the policy of "individual sovereignty". Here again, this has the potential to embrace human autonomy over that of of moral ethics defined by a sovereign creator. While even though they use the word conservative, they only commit to a fiscal conservative platform.
It is at this point that as Ethical Conservatives we ought to default to the principle of cobelligerence and vote for the party that most clearly represents the true conservatism at the time, until a party is willing to make a stand. This is not compromise but making them earn our votes.
