You bet.

I remember that the most loyal communists in the Soviet Union were called “conservatives.” In other words, they were the stalwarts for preserving Soviet communism.

Once again with this piece I’m trying to point people back to the fundamental basis of what made America great in the first place.

Because it is that basis, and that basis only, that provides any hope for saving America from destruction.

Usually when we try to explain American conservatism, it can get pretty complex as we try to explain classical liberal political philosophy, free market economics, a judeo-christian world view, a constitutional legal framework, all rolled into some kind of coherent whole.

When it really all boils down to a proper relationship between God and man, and from that, between individual human beings. If you are in proper relationship it all flows naturally from that wellspring. If you are not, if you have cut yourself off from it, no formula can hope to work in its absence.

Freedom must rest upon a moral and spiritual foundation with God at the center. Lose that and you lose the whole game. Not everyone has to get it, but you need an earnest core who do get it to sustain the whole.
