Fanning the Fire of Conservatism
David Limbaugh wrote another good column about conservatism and complacency among our ranks. Are conservatives going to "settle" for a candidate who is contra-conservative? Have conservatives given up or are they beguiled by a candidate who espouses Christianity and hanging their hat on someone they can be assured will be anti-abortion? Is this how it's going to be with single issue voters. But wait, with the exception of Giuliani, all of the republicans are anti-abortion. So what gives?
As Limbaugh asks in his above mentioned column, have conservatives lost the fire in the belly?
Complacency is a dangerous state in which to find oneself. Is that where conservatives are? If so, the conservative movement is scarily in danger of being the frog in slowly heating water from which he is too comfortable to bail out of before being cooked. It could happen. It may very well be happening.
Maybe we're just getting used to a Big Govt that provides more and more for us; or maybe we're just too tired to keep fighting against what appears to be inevitable socialism creeping upon us. Yes, it can be discouraging when Big Govt mandates toilets, light bulbs, air bags, seat belts, non-smoking buildings, and regulates speech and thought via hate crimes.
Conservatives and conservatism have taken it on the chin since the era of Reagan. We're still out here, mind you...but unfortunately our ranks may be fewer. I hope I'm wrong.
The dems know we're out here. They won the last election by putting up what appeared to be conservative dems (I know...what could be more oxymoronic!) But why do the republicans treat conservatives like stepchildren?
It's not the politician's fault, it's OUR fault! The silent conservatives have been too complacent. Like the lukewarm Laodicean church of Revelation 3:14-22 who was "rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked...." They weren't in a good place, ideologically and theologically speaking. They were complacent. They were ho hum about what was going on around them because they had it pretty good.
So do we!
We can't afford, as conservatives, to sit idly by and let Big Govt moderate or liberal republicans bastardize conservatism.
Wake up, conservatives! Demand that someone adopt real conservatism...smaller government, lower taxes, stronger military, smaller government, fewer regulations, energy independence, smaller government, fewer taxes, no socialized medicine, secure borders, disincentives for illegal aliens, fewer taxes, smaller government, energy independence and fewer regulations. Did I mention border security and energy independence as opposed to mere conservation?
Conservatives need to let their opinions be known before it's too late. Find the most conservative candidate, hold his feet to the fire and run with him, support him and determine to make conservatism the mainstay of the republican party
But, whatever you do, don't sidle up to some liberal or middle of the road RINO and adopt him as a conservative just because he's a wannabe conservative. Make sure he's the most conservative one out there and then vote against the dems.
