I want to hear it. I speak it.
The Founding Fathers made it clear that acknowledging a Creator of unalienable rights, and requiring attendant moral attributes from the citizenry, were essential to the government they were forming. Essential.
Fiscal conservatism is not conservatism at all: It is self-serving greed, and it leads to decadence just as much as communism.
Anyone who endorses so-called fiscal conservatism, devoid of godliness (read: Neoconservatism), is either ignorant or deceitful.
This nation was not founded upon amoral self interest. It absolutely was not.
Take God out, and you have no unalienable rights - so anyone can abuse you any way he likes, and “good” for him. To argue otherwise is pure sophistry.
This has been degrading the country for decades. Rush Limbaugh has told how the elite phoney conservatives in the RNC (there is no longer a GOP) would pull him aside back in the early 1990s, telling him to do something about shutting up the so-called religious right.
This, by the bye, is the great failing of Ayn Rand and Objectivism, despite the many good points she makes.
Your main point is that capitalism divorced from morality is inimical to conservatism. I would add that capitalism divorced from national and cultural loyalty and identity is equally inimical to conservatism. Koch Brothers-style “libertarianism” and the neoconservatism of Bill Kristol and his allies have in the long run done as much harm to the US as liberal Democrats.
