I'm a Christian whose theology is evangelical, conservative, orthodox and reformed.
I'm the 36 yr old husband of a lovely red-headed Kentuckian.
I'm a homeschooling father of 8.
I'm a senior systems analyst for a big defense contractor.
My definitions of conservative and liberal are:
Conservative: One who believes in the total depravity of mankind, include his own depravity while respecting the yearnings for life, liberty, intelligence, creativity, productivity and righteous pleasure that are the blessings of God upon all men.
And who believes that traditional social institutions, i.e. the family, the church, markets and the state, exist as bulwarks against the evils wrought by man and thus should be strengthened, preserved, and kept conscious of their subjection to God.
Liberal: One who believes in the essential nobility moral supremacy of mankind. And who disbelieves in evil but believes that all success comes from luck and that misfortunes are environmental and circumstantial. Liberals are humanists and elitists. They think that man especially the educated/elite has the solution to all problems and that the traditional institutions left in their traditional spheres and jurisdictions are an obstruction against those who are more equal than the rest. Even Liberals get some things right.
