The latest TIME offers readers a more nuanced discussion of American conservatism than they’re likely to find in most mainstream print publications.

Among the more interesting answers to the question “What Is A Conservative?” is the response from Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform:

Conservatives ask only one thing of the government. They wish to be left alone. They do not want the government to steal money from their neighbors and give it to them. They want taxes low and lower. They want property rights protected for all. They want to be in charge of educating their own children. They wish to practice their own faith and transmit it to their children without government “help” or interference. They want their Second Amendment rights respected. They want their professional and business lives to be left alone by the government. They would not be serfs or civil servants taking orders from an imperial city. Nor would they be czars themselves.

Conservatives are not antigovernment, just as cancer doctors are not anticell. Conservatives oppose government’s growing so large and intrusive that it becomes destructive of human liberty.
