“I love America more than Conservatism.”

Wow. That’s a concept I can’t get my head around. If America gives up its core values (aka “conservatism”) to survive, has it survived? No. If we lose who we are, we are dead.

Some things are just not negotiable, FRiend. There are some of us who cannot ever bend the knee to Rom-The-All-Mightney. Do you really think it helps to berate your own fellow conservatives for their sincerely held religious beliefs?

Because that’s what’s driving this. You actually want us to change religion for one night. But would you still respect us the next morning? You know you wouldn’t. We’d only have proved we had no religion at all. Anything you’re not willing to go to the mat for is just a preference, not a conviction.

Besides, it was people with non-negotiable convictions who founded this country. Principles and an unshakable commitment to God Almighty made this whole show possible. If you get rid of all that, you won’t have any country left to love.

What a GREAT post. Especially loved:

If America gives up its core values (aka “conservatism”) to survive, has it survived? No. If we lose who we are, we are dead.

And ...

Anything you’re not willing to go to the mat for is just a preference, not a conviction.

I pray enough folks wake up to the mistake of ABO before November.

Stopping what Obama stands for parallels American values.

Which of Obama’s values do you feel are American?

I trust Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman : I trust their judgment on their 2012 pick.
