Christian Conservative?
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams (The Works of John Adams, ed. C. F. Adams, Boston: Little, Brown Co., 1851, 4:31)
Some people have told me that I am focusing too much on religion lately and should get back to politics more. I am a Christian Conservative and Conservative values are based on the Christian values. So I find it hard to separate the two.
I believe that too many people in our society are falling away from God and religion.
“Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.”
Charles Carroll, signer of the Declaration of Independence
America’s Constitution is based on Jesus, the Bible, and the 10 commandments. Christianity is about free choice and freedoms. And in order for us to remain free, we must be able to self-govern ourselves. A tyranny government nor chaos, cannot be in control, because that is not freedom.
Since Obama was elected many changes have happened and will happen. Changes have occurred in this blog too, I have turned towards God more for hope and peace. And I think the fact that myself and others have turned towards God more is a very positive thing.
May God bless America and our freedoms.
“It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains.”
Patrick Henry
“Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible with freedom.”
Patrick Henry
“The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles, which enjoins humility, piety, and benevolence; which acknowledges in every person a brother, or a sister, and a citizen with equal rights. This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government.”
Noah Webster
I was reading through a few of your posts and I really like your writing. You and I would get along ha ha You’re opinionated and passionate; you use quotes and facts to back up your beliefs. When I was younger my friends thought I’d be a lawyer because of how I’d give facts to back up my case.
Keep up the good work! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and that you have a safe and Happy New Year!
I’ll have to bookmark your blog so I can come back. =)
