The 2012 Elections - Is Fiscal Conservatism Enough To Save America?

We citizens of America are in a fight for our life as a nation. Over the last 75 years we have witnessed a subtle and dramatic takeover of our Republic, which was founded on bedrock principles rooted in the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. Social conservatism - which is much neglected today by Republicans and Democrats is derived from the natural laws and moral absolutes instilled at the dawn of creation by Almighty God (Gen. 1:31, Psalm 104:24, Prov. 3:19). Alarmingly, we are seeing conservatism being thrown violently overboard and subtly replaced with a progression of moral relativism which is rooted in lawless secular humanism. This godless ideology is based on an adherence to the unnatural laws that produce only decadence and anarchy. Our nation has fallen dramatically and exponentially in the past 50 years and it doesn't even have to take an anchor at MSNBC  to comprehend this. These “fifth column secularists” are fully aware of this progression and are moving as fast as they can to transform our nation into their delusional, secular-socialist-utopian state.

Alarmingly, we are seeing conservatism being thrown violently overboard and subtly replaced with a progression of moral relativism which is rooted in secular humanism.

What is even more troubling is the trend that exists in the Conservative movement of today. Many who identify themselves as “genuine Conservatives” are in fact nothing more than mere “fiscal Conservatives.” What is most disturbing is that on the important social issues of our day, it is readily apparent that most of these hold liberal moral views and base their values on a “morally relative” position. When “push comes to shove,” they are more than willing to abandon in a heartbeat core moral absolutes in favor of sound fiscal policies.

The Two-Edged Sword of Conservatism
.
As a sword has two edges, so does the Conservative ideology. One edge of the blade is the fiscal (monetary) side, while the other edge is the social side, (i.e., the part which deals with moral absolutes). The TRUE CONSERVATIVE adheres to and uses both sides of this blade. Sadly though, many so-called Conservatives actually just use the fiscal edge of the blade and keep a dull, liberal (immoral) social ideology on the other edge. The majority of Independents fit this position to a tee. Many ill-informed and shallow-rooted Conservatives also practice this Independent/ Moderate philosophy and are quite deceived when it comes to who they are truly voting for. These individuals have an intellectual rationale based on their emotions and feelings without any firm adherence to concrete facts and foundational moral absolutes and truth.
These moral absolutes were instilled into Almighty God’s creation when God created the heavens and the earth. These Divine Natural Laws transcend cultural barriers and social boundaries erected by fallen man.

These Divine Natural Laws transcend cultural barriers and social boundaries erected by fallen man (Rom. 5:12-19). These instilled Natural Laws are absolute and crucial for a healthy society and social harmony in a lost and fallen world dominated by the unbridled passions of fallen men (Rom. 1:18-32, Gal. 5:19-21, Eph. 2:1-2). Our Founding Fathers knew this all too well and sought to establish this nation on the bedrock of the Bible, its Judeo-Christian values, a strict adherence to natural moral laws, and a firm reliance on Divine Providence, i.e., Almighty God. The book, The 5000 Year Leap, goes into great detail of the vision of our Founders and the tremendous brilliance and insight they exercised in building and founding this nation. It is a “must read” for every American.

Remember the Scott Brown Conservative Delusion
.
How many "conservatives" who voted for Scott Brown in 2009 were deceived into thinking that Brown was a tried and true - through and through - Conservative? I cannot tell you how many individuals that were putting all their eggs into this “Scott Brown basket” for the hope and future of America were totally blown away after Brown revealed and displayed his liberal tendencies. These individuals just heard of Brown’s conservative FISCAL position and ASSUMED that he was a TRUE BLUE solid Conservative who also adhered to the social conservative side as well. It did not matter if anyone tried to explain and show Brown’s social liberal position. These dear and sincere panicked stricken conservatives did not want to hear it. They were wiling to compromise sound conservative principles for a Rino. It didn’t take long after the fact to see that on the position of social conservatism Brown was a reprobate on key and crucial moral issues and also voted against some sound fiscal policies as well. In the long run Scott Brown did not help but only contributed to our further decline. True Brown was better then the ultra liberal Martha Coakley but it is better to lose than compromise true conservatism. By compromising, all we are doing is just slowing down that which will soon eventally be. We can see this conservative panicing trait in the present Republicain priimaeries as conservatives and moderates conservatives are choosing less than solid conservatives for the Republican nominee.

These Kool-Aid drinking Conservatives were so overwhelmed and awestruck by the change in direction our country was drastically taking towards secularism and socialism that they placed their hopes in a fiscal conservative and social liberal like Brown.

These Kool-Aid drinking Conservatives were so overwhelmed and awestruck by the change in direction our country was drastically taking towards secularism and socialism that they placed their hopes in a fiscal conservative and social liberal like Brown. Now at present we have the Newt Gingrich's and Mitt Romney's who conservatives are looking to. These Conservatives in their desperation are willing to compromise their fundamental beliefs and choose a moderate liberal socialist who many try to call conservative. It should be noted that a Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich is far better a choice for conservatives then Obama but why are they compromising their conservative values? What needs to be taken into question is how and why are these panic strickened conservatives placing all their hopes, expectations and dreams for America in these social liberal candidates. That fact alone is alarming and quite telling. They are afraid and believe that TRUE conservatism cannot win. In many ways they have are right. Conservatives are truly panicking as we go into 2012 and they should be, for none of these leading individuals in the Republican race can ever turn back the catastrophic social and fiscal state that America is presently in. True conservatism is indeed at the Alamo.

The Crucial Need for Social-Moral Conservatism
.
In comparison, social conservatism is far more crucial and needful for a healthy society than fiscal conservatism. If only one position is to be taken and a single edge of the sword of conservatism to be used, it MUST be the social-moral edge. All else will fall into place when this principle is honored.

It has been the abandonment of the Conservative social-moral position that has destroyed our U.S. culture and society and changed - or deranged - it like unto a decadent and immoral, godless whore. Because of this violation of Almighty God’s truth and moral absolutes, our nation is oppressed by a multitude of transgressions which have put us in the cross hairs of His terrible judgment.

It has been the abandonment of the Conservative social-moral position that has destroyed our U.S. culture and society and changed - or deranged - it like unto a decadent and immoral, godless whore.

How can any society survive when moral conservatism is scoffed at and demonized by both political parties? The answer is, “It will not!” Thus, we now see the sad state and coming downfall of our once great and highly respected nation.

Many Conservatives these days are aligning themselves with the fiscal conservative while ignoring their social moral positions. These dreamers are being deceived and are by no means stopping the bleeding of our nation by its abandonment of social-moral Conservative absolutes. They are placing their trust in the wrong ideal and are feeding the fire for the demise of our nation, as prophetically predicted by our Founding Fathers.

The Fatal Bleeding Wound of America

The fatal bleeding wound of America today is the outright REJECTION of natural moral laws. This rejection has led gradually to our decline and will lead to a soon coming sudden demise (Romans 1:18-32). The chief casualty at the heart of this rejection is the decimation of the family unit. When the family structure in any society is destroyed, expect only decadence and anarchy to follow. Haven’t the 60’s, when morality was discarded and family values scoffed at, proven this? The reason America and its states are so “in the red” (i.e., bankrupt) is precisely because of the outright rejection of natural and moral laws.

Our founding Fathers were adamant in their warning to America’s posterity NOT to deviate from the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. In so doing we have reaped the whirlwind, and the vision of a great many is sadly cloudy, including many Conservatives.

Fiscal ideals based on natural laws and sound economic values are not enough today to save America from economic implosion. More than any other political remedy, what is crucially needed to slow down the rot is sound adherence to moral ideals that are derived from Judeo-Christian values and absolutes. Our founding Fathers were adamant in their warning to America’s posterity NOT to deviate from the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. In so doing we have reaped the whirlwind, and the vision of a great many is sadly cloudy, including many Conservatives. So, who has all the solutions and answers that we need today and where are they to be found? Are we to get them from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage or Glenn Beck? Are we going to get them from social liberals running for congress who mask themselves as true Conservatives because of their fiscal Conservative stance? The answer is a resounding, “NO!” We are past the point of no return here in America. The nose of the ship is straight up and there is not much time left till it sinks to the bottom of the ocean miles below. In these last days, as optimistic though fictional solutions abound while all seems drear, may we not be deceived in following those who seem to have all of the answers.

Reality From Almighty God's Word

The Bible teaches, "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD" (Jer. 17:5).

"Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" (Isa. 2:22)
.
"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever" (Psalm 146:3-6).
."Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought" (1 Cor. 2:6).

The solutions and expectations for our nation and world are not to be found in fallen man and his godless solutions (Romans 5:12-19). One’s hope is to ONLY be found in Almighty God and His perfect remedies for man and his ETERNAL future.

There are many false saviors and voices speaking today that offer fractured solutions and unrealistic expectations. These voices are all rooted in delusion promises that lead down the road to destruction in the coming Day of the Lord. As we are in these trying and last days - not just here in America but in the world - there is only one place to place our expectations. This place is in no other than the Savior of the World, the Lord Jesus Christ! He ALONE possesses all the remedies for man. He alone possesses all the hope for man in this dying and rotting world. May it be your sole desire to place your trust surely and securely in Him (Christ) for life’s answers and ETERNITY'S righteous demands.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

In 2008, folks who agree that we're all endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights formed a new political party -- and we quickly became the third largest national party as measured by number of registered voters. We nominated Alan Keyes for President that year. The ideas presented in this article are amongst the subjects discussed every Tuesday and Thursday night on our conference calls. All of good will are welcome to dial-in at 218-339-2222 code 340794# starting at 9 pm eastern. Last night's call featured a conversation with a candidate for Congress who has received the endorsement of a well-known pro-life group in his state. I think he was surprised to have his abortion stance criticized as not being protective enough using the unalienable rights standard.

Excellent! Whether you call it "abandonment" or a flight from doesn't matter. It has contributed to a black hole in politics. Here is what I think is obvious to most true conservtives:

A Liberal Declaration of Convenience

“We hold this truth to be self-evident that there is no continuous truth. Therefore it follows that… truth being subjective in matter and form… all men are not created equal.” – They couldn’t be. (some must be more “equal” than others) This is the sense that would be proclaimed in modern liberal doctrine, in conservative or liberal circles, if of course they could without offending others.

JB.. TGBTG! and nice quote! They see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the BIBLE... as fascist and totalitarian... Where we see it as order and liberty...

The Ignorant Fishermen said...

My friend, the Independent Party however.. holds both groups in it... Glad to hear though that someone is running on true conservative values. All however need the Righteousness of Almighty God found in Jesus Christ when the day is through.. May that be all peoples primary and first focus.

Thanks Steve…
God bless!

Remember, you aren't a True Christian Social Conservative unless you are for the right of the Government to tell you exactly what you can do in your home and with your own money.

If you feel that you deserve the freedom to make your own decision on such matters you aren't wanted. You are doomed to hell just like those who claim the earth to be more than 6,000 years old.
