What is Conservatism?
By Jim Hollingsworth

Common terms, like conservative and liberal, with traditional meanings may not mean the same things today.  Still, there are definitions of conservative even the liberals have to accept because they are unchanging.

Just as some want to abandon the term conservative, many Christians wanted to stop using the term “born again” that was popularized by President Jimmy Carter.  It was evident, however, that it was wrong to abandon a term which has clear Biblical meaning (John 3:3, 5).  Why would we let the world rob us of our most valuable terms?

So, what exactly is a conservative?

While Satan's minions howl through the streets we quibble over how many Angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Rather, because we don't know how many angels dance on the head of a pin...

Conservatism is nothing if it cannot be defined. And every one of those 'angels' are defined.

It's dead, Jim.

Call me a nihilist, but this generation is selfish and corrupted to its core, beyond any hope of redemption, even from God himself.
