Real conservatives know who they are!
Yep. Real conservatives believe in limited government, reducing taxes, and protecting the nation from foreign threats. Real conservatives do not believe in using government to impose (or deny) religion or arbitrary religious codes on the people.

In my mind, a true conservative and patriot in the spirit of our founders seeks freedom from both the government and the church.

Eschatology is an interesting area to study, I wish I could pursue it more. What do you suppose the Aztecs thought would be their demise? Do you think they recognized it when it came? Some American Christians believe that when government and the Church become one, the end will be next. They're the staunchest advocates of separation of church and state of all.
