You see, there are some who have expressed themsleves as Christian under the banner of Conservatism, and Conservative under the banner of Christiandom. The truth is that those who use Christianity itself as a political tool are ultimately going to betray their principles as conservatives.
Under the guise of Christianity, some Republicans take actions that are unacceptable to the majority. Thus it becomes a tyranny of the minority.
However, Democrats are much much more dangerous to the United Sates system of Capitalism and personal property rights. Remember, it was leftist-inspired interpretation (By a Republican-controlled Supreme Court, if you consider Souter a Republican of course) of the constituion that led to the New London decision, destroying the right to private property in the United States. And it was liberal (loose, broad, sweeping, and speculative) interpretation of the constituion over years that has ultimately raped states of their sovereign rights and created a one-state nation under the commerce clause-supremacy clause combination.
This is not THE REPUBLICAN club. It's the Conservative Club. You don't have to be a right-wing fascist Christian Extremist to believe that the government that governs least governs best, or that power distributed is power accountable.
The problem is the Republican Party has elements who believe in a variety of applications of conservatism. That is something I am willing to accept.
The alternative is far far worse. The Democrats blatantly and clearly wish to consolidate power into the hands of very few while slowly implementing a leftist-leaning economy.
What is liberalism to me? Liberalism is bending the rules to fit your agenda. Liberals change the law or interpret the law in order to allow for behavior or activity that would otherwsie be unconstituional, unethical, and/or illegal.
Liberal judges free criminals and overturn rulings on bizzare merits. Liberal legislators seek as much power for the government as they possibly can, and when they are unable to, they then turn to the courts to expand their power.
Social conservatives are frustrated because this country's daughters are turning into whores because of the permissive culture. Feminism has destroyed the right of a mother to just be a mother and be proud of that. No, now women have to lawyers or Doctors or something else to matter, accoring to the feminazis. Don't get me wrong, I believe that women are the intelectual equal of men, and hold every bit as much ability and talent. But now a woman cannot even self-respect herself if she chooses to be a moral support for the family system. Thanks to liberals, women are required to do just a few activities in order to succeed in society: Screw or act like a man.
It's bull. And look at our kids. Nobody dates or considers the character of another person. They "hook up". Hell even I did it before I was married. Screw first, date later. And it's a frickin crying shame. And how are parents supposed to control their kids? Kids have no respect for the parents who work their butts off to care for 'em. But what can the parents do? NOT A DAMN THING. Thanks to the damn liberals who have screwed it up for all of us. I'm not advocating abuse by any means, but hell, at least a man could teach his boy a lesson once upon a time. Nowadays, some little whiney brat gets slapped by mom, and all the liberal feminazis call the cops.
And what about freedom of speech? Nowadays, you have to be so politically correct you can't even give an honest opinion with out people getting all whiney about racisim or sexism. For christ's sake, I'm not interested in tearing people down; I want to build them up and watch 'em stand on their own two feet with personal responsibility.
And that's the bottom line right there. Personal responsibility. At the end of the day, the Conservatives of all stripes within the Republican party agree that human beings have the right and obligation of personal responsibility. That just is not the case with leftist liberals who refuse to acnkowledge that people are responsible for their owv actions. In the view of the liberal, the government is ultimately responsible for everyone else. "The government knows best".
I believe in the natural ability of the human being to prosper and thrive. I trust people to do the right thing. I count on families, individuals, and parents to make the right choice for themselves and their families. And that's why I can stick to my guns in a leftist-leaning forum like this; in a culture corrupted by MTV, urban gang rap, and instant gratification.
I can't count on the Democrats to preserve these values. So I will do what I have to do, and fight within the party choice that I have in order preserve the values of conservatism against its enemies.
