“Conservative” is really not such a great term because it implies preserving the status quo. We need to blow up the status quo. The issue in our country is FREEDOM. The great threat to our freedom is the mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion federal government and the greatest protector of our political and economic freedom is the U.S. Constitution which must be reinstated as the Supreme Law of the Land, Ruler over the feds, and over-rider of unconstitutional federal laws of which there are many.
Personal, spiritual freedom is really a root cause issue of our troubles because we’ve turned from trusting in God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to confidence in man and his government. But spiritual freedom is absolutely an individual choice and the feds are constitutionally barred from meddling in our personal lives and beliefs.
The enemy is the federal government and the prize is freedom.
Many so-called “conservatives” express a basic distrust in freedom. But freedom is what makes life worthwhile and it is worth dying for. It is individual FREEDOM that made America great, not government - individuals free to live their lives as they saw fit. Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” is what coalesced individual freedom into the greatest, wealthiest, and most powerful country in the world.
If “conservatism” is about anything other than freedom, individual, political, and economic, I’m not interested.
