Here’s your problem...a billion people would change one word of your statement and agree whole heartedly:

Take out conservatism and replace it with Islam.

“Islam has morality, meaning, purpose, and direction...all from god.”

I’m not a militant Atheist. But I recognize the futility of religious arguments. Christians KNOW they’re right. Unless you’re the wrong sort of Christian. Like a Catholic. Then a bunch of Protestants think you’re deluded. And a bunch of Catholics think the same thing about Protestants.

Muslims are so sure they’re right that they will cut your head off for being an infidel. If you’re Jewish it’s even worse. Oh, and let’s not get started about the Mormons.

See my point? It’s futile. Believe what you want, don’t push those beliefs on others. Mind your own business.

I realize many Atheists are obnoxious blowhards. So are many “devout” believers. For me, god has nothing to do with lower taxes, less government, 2nd amendment rights, etc. It’s just common sense.

Conservatism is incompatible with atheism.

That is the truth, and along that line, permit me to quote from a report made to the Seventy-sixth Congress on January 3, 1939:

Americanism is based upon the recognition that the inherent and fundamental rights of man are derived from God and not from governments, dictators, kings or majorities. It is as un-American to hate one's neighbor because he has more of this world's material goods as it is to hate him because he was born into a different race. Americanism is is a philosophy of government based upon the belief in God as the Supreme Ruler of His Universe.

That report was submitted by -- get this -- a Democrat from Texas, Martin Dies, pictured below. Back in 1939, there were actually people with a D next to their name, many from the South and quite a few from Texas, who loved America and realized that God was the foundation of this great country. Congressman Martin Dies of the Texas Second (now served by Ted Poe) launched the Dies Committee, authoring that report, which later became the HUAC, paving the way for war hero Senator Joe McCarthy to expose the communist enemy within.

And here's an additional quote from a genuine Patriot about Our Creator:

Without God, obviously we’d have no God-given unalienable rights. We’d have only the “rights” government decides we should have. That’s the way it was done all throughout history until our founding fathers recognized the “self-evident truth.” America was founded on the principle that all men are created equal by God and granted their unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness... and self-rule. No king. No dictator. No ruler. No king but God.

His name is probably more familiar than that of Martin Dies. It came from a February 26, 2014 post by the American Hero pictured below.
