in my book Conservatism means conserving the best, the proven, that worth saving because it works well. So you might even say that Conservatism is not a political concept, but a concept that provides for freedom, the opportunity to flourish in peace! Under our Constitution and Bill of Rights America is unquestionably the most generous country because most of us value the Ten Commandments. Ayn Rand had nothing to do with Conservatism. And of course, the great commission is to give the gospel to all. It is up to the individual to choose. Then prayer becomes our duty to Christ.
Have you ever read “The Light and the Glory”, by Peter Marshall and David Emanuel? It is an amazing history of America from l492 forward which every American should read.
Beautifully written and extremely well documented there should be a space for it on every book shelf. You can order it from Borders.
Our country adopted a Constitution, and our early laws are based on the values written in the Holy Bible. Unfortunately, it requires a Godly people to keep it in effect, and as time has passed moore and more people have sadly become less Godly. So I maintain that Conservatism itself is based upon God’s laws.
If there were no God, how would you act?
Why would you act that way?
Why would that be ok?
