Title: Conservative Philosophy of Government (Part 2) View count: 440 Rating: 5.0 (9 ratings) Description: What is a conservative philosophy of government? Today, the Republican Party has been overrun with neoconservatives, who are not genuine, traditional conservatives (paleoconservatives) at all. In this video series, I compare how conservatism and neoconservatism handle different issues. I am not suggesting that my 'what a conservative would do' descriptions are the final arbiters of what a conservative is and how they all act, but I do find my presentation to be a general philosophy of classical Constitutional conservatism. Secondly, I also speak specifically to my fellow Christian conservatives about a Biblical philosophy of government. The early twentieth century author Sinclair Lewis allegedly said, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." ( see the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. page at http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Sinclair_Lewis accessed 3 Nov. 2008. Last updated 11 Feb. 2007. ) While Lewis may have meant this to be a partial attack on the Gospel, I think we can take his observation and apply it to neoconservatism. Neoconservatives pitch themselves as being the 'Christian' choice, combined with frightening nationalism. Its the old 'Manifest Destiny: God has ordained us to carry out this great government mission' routine. I think not, and explain why. I have left the Republican Party and joined the Constitution Party, and I suggest any and all conservatives examine the Constitution Party to see if perhaps you should do the same. Even though it's not my personal choice, some may even want to check out the Libertarian Party (which is actually very similar to the Constitution Party on most issues). The time has come for the conservative movement to restore Constitutionalism to our government, and that means rejecting the Republican Party's false version of conservatism. Remember: principle over pragmatism! RESOURCES: 1.
