It matters more right here on FR. It bills itself as premiere “Conservative” website. We might just want to recognize in passing that this is tied to a greater context in a way we may not realize and with implications we may not embrace. There is no One True Conservativism and knowing this should get us going into a vector of details when comparing the “conservatism” of position or candidate A vs. that of B.

Godliness is, I believe, the implied goal of Conservatism the way we understand it here. Would it be too nervy to change FR’s billing to a premiere “Godly” website? I’m not Jim Rob. He gets to manage it. I won’t be a bug about it unless the opportunity opens up. I want to play nice. But I want to be a gadfly for better accuracy, better opportunity for blessings... that kind of thing.

RE: God isn’t running for office

To your point, FR is practically a Godly website in terms of devotion — save our atheistic FRiends devoted to abstract ideals.

Regarding my point of God not being on the ballot, the choice concerns the popular differences between the two parties — neither party offering any redeeming qualities.

If one’s family was raised to distrust Republicans, I see no reason why the distrust should stop. In kind, there’s plenty to distrust regarding Democrats. I’m not picking sides, but only describing the absence of a clear path where one might be inspired to depart from family tradition.
