We have a new leader. It is not the one we wanted, but who had a first choice of our candidate? That is why we lost; most of us were voting against a socialist, not for a conservative. Our candidate was more moderate than he was conservative and now we have a real liberal next January.
We must ask ourselves: Who are we? What do we believe?
If you know what you believe, you are better off than most conservatives in our nation. I know what I believe, but I think it is harder than expected to pin down your exact beliefs. A lot of the time, a belief is relative, depending on a situation that the belief might be employed. if you can pin down your beliefs, please write a post about it. We all need to know what it is we believe so we can be ready in 2010 and for the magnum tempus: 2012.
I believe in Christianity; I am a devout Catholic. I believe in frugality and old-fashioned morals, like our grandparents or great-grandparents had. I am conservative to a fault particularly when it comes to foreign policy and domestic punishment. I say we should do a preemptive strike if a rogue nation has declared it wants to harm us. I believe in the death penalty and (I am my father's daughter on this one)believe it should be enacted right after sentencing since obviously the crime was heinous enough to recieve the death penalty. I believe in the nuclear family and if need be the grandparents living there to. Shuffleboard and such are the traditional grandparent activites. Basically, if was a Guilded Age practice in America (Victorian), I believe it.
Now what about your beliefs? I'd love to hear them.
