What is conservativism?

Don't let leftist revisionists, as if there was anything else, tell you what you believe.  I know many people struggle with basic terms.  The problem here is that the media, academia, and even politicians who claim to be conservative, either don't actually know and just make it up or know but don't want you to figure it rightly.  They try to suggest that conservativism is based on a belief in the past, for it's own sake.  Roughly traditionalism, if even that is a little too close to some variation of the truth for them to be comfortable with you knowing... so they use terms such as anachronistic, neanderthal, backward, etc.  They, of course, being onward, forward, progressive, free minded, etc.

The truth is, conservativism is a political theory based upon some very well defined principles and truths.  And these ideas aren't even man-made.  The principles upon which true conservativism are based were created by God, handed down initially through to Jews, then on to Christians.  While it is true that conservatives hold to the old, the principles are not relative to a specific time or place, but to a Being, one who is timeless.  There have been, and remain, various takes on these truths, to a limited degree.  Certainly a Catholic, a Southern Baptist, and a Mormon would have various takes, and weights, of these things.  And yet there isn't, in life practice, all that much difference.  None of these would believe murder or rape would be tolerable.  None of those, if practicing as they were taught, would believe even the theft of a $10 bill would be allowable.  The bar isn't variable by the color of skin, the wealth someone might have attained, or any other measure.  It is equal, and truly blind.  This is the basis for conservativism.

Of course, this means that female politicians are not conservative.  Nor are gay politicians.  There is no such big tent.  Is there room for sinners?  Sure, just not those choosing to live a life of sin, and publicly.  There isn't a conservative who isn't a sinner.  But if he isn't constantly reconciling his sins, then he isn't a conservative.  So, all these notions of opening the possibilities is merely an attempt to quash true conservativism.  Something the Republican leadership is deadset on doing.

So, what are modern liberals, progressives, and the rest?  Godless.  They are no more a new thing than conservatives are.  One is not newer, younger, fresher... the other being old and out-of-date.  Actually, with Cain being the first progressive and Christ being the first true conservative, they are far older in their base.  Uhrm, at least on earth.  Conservativism existed first, but it was shattered by our willfulness.  You see, it doesn't matter if you believe yourself to be right, and believe that you believe in God.  If it doesn't show, if you don't adhere to what God has clearly written, and spoken, if you choose what of those things to believe in... in the end, it is not God you believe in, but yourself.  You can't be openly gay, or even a female politician, and believe in the principles God put forth.  You can't be for subjugating people and be Christian.  You can't even support the notion of a king and be a faithful servant of God.  You can't hate, especially hate God, especially pretty much as a political party, and be Godly.  You are what you are.  But that doesn't sell to the low information voter, so they will never admit it.

Oh, I am positive a true wordsmith, such as William Buckley, Jr. could have done a better job of it.  I'm not sure if he ever went so far, however.  I am not sure how far back censuring began, or how deeply it ran.  In any case, this should be a start.  If I were to have had someone write the thing out more fully and in a better way, he could have done it.  I am sure there are others, living and dead, who probably could have and did express the thing much more eloquently.  But, this isn't their blog... you get what you get.

Good day.
