A House Divided

I am a Christian American Conservative. I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I will not apologize for the greatest country on Earth.  

There has been a lot of conversation lately within the ranks of American Conservatives. In-fighting about what political philosophy and attitude to take. Should Conservatism be abandoned for the same kind of pseudo-intellectual arrogance and snarkiness that the Liberals practice with regularity and glee?

Or should Americans embrace Conservatism? Which kind of Conservatism? Fiscal? Social? Beltway/Moderate/Independent (a.k.a. Squishy)? 

The Republican Party has been practicing “Squishy” Conservatism in the last two elections. We are currently living with the consequences of that. Practicing this political philosophy of relative ethics and relative morality is akin to building a house on shifting sand.

Americans do not tolerate vacillating leaders for very long. Look at the problems besetting The Magnificent One, Barack “Scooter” Obama. Few Americans, except for his Far Left sycophantic base, are buying the “Hope and Change” he is selling. And they are upset with him because he is not “hoping and changing” fast enough to suit them. He even tried to reach out to the rank and file of his party and the Independents (one or two) who still might support him by attending church on Easter Sunday. He held a photo op at Allen Chapel, a historic African Methodist Episcopal Church, founded shortly after the Civil War. This action from the man who once said, “Whatever we once were, we’re no longer just a Christian nation…” and who regularly worships at the Sanctuary of the Holy Basketball Court. But I digress… 

Conservatives have a great opportunity ahead of us this November. But we will blow it if we do not present a united front. Our country is under siege from enemies, internal and external, that want to turn the “shining city on a hill” into a third-world barrio. We don’t have time for Internet Flame Wars, questioning the legitimacy of each other’s Conservatism. Nor do we have the luxury of wasting time ridiculing another Conservative for being old-fashioned or Christian. It’s time to man up. The barbarians have knocked down the gate and they are ransacking our homes. They have burdened future generations with a tax burden that may be insurmountable. For our children’s children’s sake, we must politically repel these invaders who wish to make us subservient to their failed ideology. 

So before I wrap this rant up, I wish to leave you with the words of the greatest American President in my lifetime. There are those who say he wasn’t a believer. I beg to differ. 

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged. “ 

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.” 

We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.”  

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.”

“Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.” – President Ronald Reagan 2/6/11-6/5/04

    Right on, KJ. We need to stick our principles and stick together. I love the Gipper, and he had a lot of wisdom in him…for an actor and an ECON major.
