Conservatism is not dead as some would want people to believe. For one, I don't believe in the government doing things for me; I can do these things myself. Government can easily overstep its usefulness and thus become part of the problem when it gets in people's way. I believe in the Constitution and in the rule of law. I believe we are a country ruled by laws - not by a mob, that we are a people from diverse backgrounds - not hyphenated groups, and that we are a nation that abides by and believes in Almighty God.
My view from where I live. . .
I don't have political connections. I don't have an "in" on the real news of what is going on in our country today. All I have to go on is my gut feeling about many things going on around me and I filter these vignettes using my conservative principles and family values.
Most of the time in this voyage of life I use dead reckoning. The North Star is still there but clearly our nation's moral compass has been compromised. Rudeness rules, deviancy and indecency are considered the norm. Sanity is considered an aberration. To speak one's mind could be a perilous undertaking.
The pendulum has swung to the left. It is still going farther left. I long for the day when sanity will come back and for the pendulum to return to its right swing. Right now the world views Americans as dumb, apathetic, ignorant, lazy and big spending third world scammers. Americans no longer appreciate courageous leadership; they love appeasers and apologists. Americans no longer love their country.
A conservative who abhors political correctness, hypocrisy and the use of euphemisms. I believe that we are a country founded on Judeo-Christian principles and ideologies. I flatly refuse to apologize for being an American; I have nothing to apologize for. Apologists for American arrogance do not represent me. I believe in the Constitution and that government serves the people, not vice versa. God gives us our human rights; government guarantees that we enjoy those rights. Government ought not to be in the auto business, healthcare business, or any kind of private sector business. Politicians are liars. I believe that Congress, the president, the judicial branch should also subscribe and contribute to Social Security. I am not for amnesty for illegal aliens. Illegal aliens are law breakers and should not be supported for breaking the law. It is wrong to abort an unborn child.
