I am 48 years old, very happily married for 25 years and I have two children, one in college and one recently graduated from college and married. I have degrees in political science and religion. I am also a committed Christian and my political views flow naturally from my religious convictions.
I am a conservative. I do not view the Constitution as a living document. As Justice Antonin Scalia said, “I defend a dead Constitution.” Any document that is “living” is a document that means whatever you want it to mean. If the Constitution means anything, it means what the words in it say, nothing more and nothing less. So I do not believe in substantive due process. I think the commerce clause has been stretched beyond recognition. I think you have to be delusional to find abortion in the Constitution.
My posts will be decidedly conservative from an evangelical Christian perspective. I will almost always take issue with liberal ideals and positions. I find the Democrat party as it exists today to be mainly about demagoguery rather than about what is best for this country. I think the Democrat leadership, by and large, are willing to sacrifice the good of the country for the chance to regain the White House because they believe that the ONLY good thing for this country in the end is for them to be in power.
I think liberals HATE George Bush. They believe he stole the 2000 and 2004 elections, therefore he is not a legitimate president. I think they will do anything to undermine him no matter the cost to the nation. If that means more soldiers die, they can live with that. If that means another terrorist attack, they can live with that.
As for the Republican Party, I am disillusioned at best. The actions of Republicans in the House and Senate prior to the mid-term elections were anything but conservative. Presiding over the largest expansion of the federal government since LBJ is what cost them the election, not Iraq.
Since the elections the Republican Party has shown very little understanding of what actually happened. They continue to blame their loses on Bush and Iraq. While both played their part, neither could have done the job. Republicans have, by and large, abandoned conservatism, that is the problem.
