The Future of Conservatism?
This country is on a road trip, but where are we going? Bernie and Matt are on their way to a fun night together. Yet, while we are busy having a great time, what can we do to keep our country from veering off the path of liberty? Like the song goes, “I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain… but I always thought I’d see you again.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3uaXCJcRrE When is our country going to come back? What has happened to the “Conservative Movement”? What has it done? The conservative movement has scored many victories in terms of getting conservatives elected. Yet, what happens to all that conservative sentiment after these candidates get sworn into office? Even with the new infusion of candidates who give great speeches about liberty on the campaign trail, the principles of conservatism have suffered defeat in actual legislative results. To use a football term, we are losing yardage.
How could we have a statement of values and beliefs, get our hands on the reigns of political power and have nothing to show for it? Government is growing bigger, the economic stability is becoming weaker, people are losing their medical insurance and more jobs are going to foreign countries. So what are we supposed to do to change the decline of our country?

Truth in Love
I went to the O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce legislative event last week and ran into some friends. We all have a part to play in making the world a better place. It is the moral duty of all of us to determine what we should be doing with our time and energy. Recently I came across a moving story of a man in the State of Washington who ran for Governor. He ran as a Republican but received fewer votes than the person who ran on the Constitution Party ticket. The lesson here is that conservatives seem to be losing regardless of their political party affiliation. We are living in difficult times—especially those who believe in the first amendment right to our freedom of speech.
