Conservatism, OTOH, is rooted in the concept of a higher moral authority, usually Biblical moral teaching, as the underpinning of political philosophy.

Conservatism, OTOH, is rooted in the concept of using violence to enforce what they perceive to be God's will. That's my opinion.

So you aren't a conservative, or are you admitting to using violence?
