They have been on the wrong side of history ? at least American history ? primarily because they have been on the wrong side of God.

Well that's certainly a strong statement.

Although I agree with this article I have one quibble. Must you be religious to be conservative? I am not a believer. But experience has taught me that man's nature (and mine) is deeply flawed; what the religious would call fallen. It is from that realization that humility, and conservatism, flow. After all, if man is flawed, a resistance to unchecked power in the name of some utopian goal, follows. That is the essence of the conservative temperament.

All I am saying, is that conservatism's ranks would be greatly enlarged, if it were not equated exclusively with those who have religious belief.

Well said - the crux of the matter, in my view.

Thanks for the post.

[Liberal elites] believe that the state (similarly to socialism) is the great giver. Conservatives believe that God is.

Liberal elites want lust for credit for making the state the great giver. And they want fear of (but not effective political opposition to) their making the state the great taker.

They lust for power.

Liberals think they are gods in that they believe if they get enough power they can legislate human nature. In reality, as history proves, when they get enough power they legislate human misery. May the God of love and mercy be with us all.

Liberals are moral relativists. Of course they don't believe in organized religion. The ACLU is busy trying to stamp out God from America. Giving credence to the idea that society has values from past generations worth preserving is anathema to liberals. Especially when it goes under the yardstick of right and wrong. Liberals believe man is the ultimate repository of wisdom, authority, and action. Liberals believe progress is the motor of history and every thing that stands against it is to be swept out of its path. So no, liberals and conservatives have nothing in common. Unless there are some weak kneed Republicans ("useful idiots," as Lenin scornfully called such types) who want to advance the liberal agenda, the Left has no use for us. To put it bluntly we are their enemy.

Conservatives, by and large believe in God, and liberals believe they are gods," came the reply.

How simply put, LoL! Happy 4th to all...

For anyone who wishes to pursue this issue (and it's consequences) in depth, I suggest Chuck Colson's "How Now Shall We Live". He lays out the issues with great clarity and provides factual evidence for the truth.

When I get some time, I will post some excerpts. Every page is great but there is particulary excellent chapter on judicial activism in the last thirty yeas. Not only does he reference specific cases but he presents the genesis of the activism as well as the consequences.

In essence, conservatives believe in the 10 commandments, and in particular, the one stating "Thou shalt have no other gods before me".

The wire rimmed, dope smoking, bearded, elitist liberal professors on our college campi want for a god to cover their asses, legitimizing & justifying their every desire.

Two quotes explaining liberalism:

"The boy's been educated beyond his intellegence."
..............................................................Cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn

"God created man in his image...Hollywood Liberals are returning the favor."

Yeah, Sick Willie and Hillary are "gods" as in the campy Clash of the Titans mode. You would need Ray Harryhausen or one of the Japanese film miniature artists of the Godzilla/UltraMan tradition to render them divine.

Wonderful article explaining the differences between the two ideologies. He said it all. However we are speaking up, and being shouted down, and shut down by activist judges.

[anncoulteriscool]

As Ronald Reagan said in one of his speeches: Many sides say God is on our side when the question we should ask is are we on God's side. (not an exact quote-just what i remember)

GREAT ARTICLE. GREAT POINTS.

THANKS MUCH!

Just came across this. Very thought provoking.
