Either you believe in God and His creation as told in His Book, or you think of yourself as a kind of bald ape, ready to fornicate with anything that moves and are unable to grasp any concept of dignity, nation or justice

I’m still quite amazed at folks, such as yourself, who can live in such a strictly binary world as you describe. Bothered by not in the least, mind you, it’s a great big world with a lot of strange beliefs (for instance eating dog in the first half of the lunar month for good luck, and cat in the 2nd half), but the “it’s this or that with nothing in the middle” is hard for me to grasp.

To a true conservative and a true believer, the world is a simple place. You know by heart and by your soul what's right and what's wrong, and you're not afraid to stand up to it.
Political flip flopping, tap dancing around ethical issues, feminism, political correctness to the point of "understanding and accepting" the motives of muslim terrorists; that's the 'thing in the middle' that could bring this nation down.

Conservatism is not about creating complexity where there's none, but to see simplicity where others want to create complexity.
One of my favourite quotes from our president is exactly on this simplicity which is the heart of conservatism and lies at the core of being a true believer.

"Some worry that it is somehow undiplomatic or impolite to speak the language of right and wrong. I disagree. Different circumstances require different methods, but not different moralities. Moral truth is the same in every culture, in every time, and in every place."
President G.W.Bush, Graduation Speech at West Point, June 1, 2002

The world is a simple place.
Ask yourself if you're a true conservative. If your answer is 'yes', you'll feel that this is true.
