I'm sorry, but that does absolutely nothing to answer my question.

I asked what principle(s) conservatives use to determine which actions of state are just, and which are not.

Clearly just asserting "Judeo-Christian principles" as an answer is woefully inadequate.

For example, Judeo-Christian principles" prohibit the worship of any God other than the God of Abraham. And Jewish principles prohibit the consumption of certain food products. And Old Testament Jewish law prohibits cutting your beard, or having your wife in the house during the menses.

Are you suggesting that the United States should outlaw bacon, ham, and freedom of religion?

If not, then I think you need to do a bit more thinking about this.

The old testament is full of laws which where being directed toward the Jewish people as a way to attain righteousness. Jesus Christ fulfilled these laws in respect to dietary laws and ceremonial cleanliness and sacrificial rules. Jesus did however state that some of the laws like those pertaining to Immoral Sexual behavior are still in effect. The founders however supported religious freedom and I support that as well. As a conservative I support religious freedom as a foundation of our country. As a Christian I do not support other Gods.
