For me Conservatism is obeying a moral code higher then what man wants to make it for himself..We can not improve on God's innate desire to see us prosper and live in peace and also live a healthy and content and rich life.
Man twists those law to his own whims from both sides of the isle ...to the point I have almost stopped calling myself a Republican or wanting to saddle up to the watered down political new age Conservatism their pandering...No man is able to consistently choose the right path or consistently make the right choice with out consulting a more knowledgeable source...For our moral code that source is God...Liberals vehemently oppose that concept more often then so called self proclaimed conservatives..Opposing it doesn't negate the fact that it is still the truth...All of us need to "Grow Up" myself included...That's Conservatism.
Love one another as yourself and love God's direction for your life...Lead no one into temptation as to cause him to stumble and fall if your so inclined to be in sin yourself..That's Conservatism's...everything else is a counterfeit...Doesn't mean you cant be and individual or have what you think is a fun sin filled life if you choose to...Just means you cant teach it as a acceptable and healthy life contrary to what a higher law says it is not...That's true conservatism...
Your rights do not raise above the one standing to your left or the one standing to the right..He is equally yoked to those higher moral laws as you are...if you choose not to obey them on your own it is your given free will just be still about it and not rally around them in defiant power hungry fervor claiming them as equal or acceptable and justified ways of living...they are not...That's Conservatism.
The poor and the sick will always be with us..we are commanded to help them and provide for them..the lazy and the unskilled are to be taught how to fish as to provide for there own needs not given one each day..That's conservatism.
Religion has nothing for nor no place in Conservatism...Choosing the right God to serve and obey has everything to do with the word.
There is a right and there is a wrong...we as men can not change that no mater what law we invent saying contrary.
