Bursting On The Scene

Okay, kids, yes, I'm one of them. A Conservative Christian. I actually read and believe the Bible and, while I'm not anywhere close to perfect, I make every effort to live a Christ-like life (hence one of the reasons why we are called Christians). I'm not uneducated and I don't blindly following anyone or anything. I am the epitome of depth in a society that has become oh-so-shallow.

You will find that I have no problem calling people out on issues of morality, life and death, freedom versus slavery, but I do my best not to cross the line into condemnation. Toleration is a myth, a useless term hijacked by liberals to mean what fits them. I'll give you a clue as to where I'm coming from here: God is not tolerant. Giving you free will is not the same thing as being tolerant. Those who miss His mark will, sooner or later, reap the consequences of that choice.

I will not accept socialism, I will not accept liberalism, I will not accept being told I do not matter or have no voice. Glenn Beck has it right with his 9-12 Project:
9 Principles (my adjustments added):
1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the center of my life. (I'll do this one better and say Christ is the center of my life)
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority (next to God), not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and noone is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. (I follow God's Word and Christ's example, period).
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

12 Values:

1. Honesty
2. Reverence
3. Hope
4. Thrift
5. Humility
6. Charity
7. Sincerity
8. Moderation
9. Hard work
10. Courage
11. Personal responsibility
12. Gratitude

Many of these are missing, or certainly strained, in today's society.

I will speak out passionately against people who tear down the fabric of America that was indeed established by our forefathers with a deep and abiding recognition that God was, and ever should be, the basis for and center of this nation. This is proven in historical writings, so you have no credibility by disagreeing.
