Can you help me compile a list of conservative clichés?

In my patriotic efforts to combat the evils of verbal terrorism and linguistic laziness, I'd like to start a most-wanted list of conservative clichés. Here's a few to help us start:

- Cut and run

- Support our troops

- Tax and spend

- Stay the course

- In harm's way

Can you do your part for your country and help eradicate these evildoing phrases? Please post some additional egregious examples...

Update:

Great additions so far (some of you, anyway). Thanks.

I forgot an essential in the conservative lexicon:

- Anything negative about France
