Conservative Philosophy of Government (Part 1)


Title:
Conservative Philosophy of Government (Part 1)

Description:
What is a conservative philosophy of government? Today, the Republican Party has been overrun with neoconservatives, who are not genuine, traditional conservatives (paleoconservatives) at all. In this video series, I compare how conservatism and neoconservatism handle different issues. I am not suggesting that my 'what a conservative would do' descriptions are the final arbiters of what a conservative is and how they all act, but I do find my presentation to be a general philosophy of classical Constitutional conservatism. Secondly, I also speak specifically to my fellow Christian conservatives about a Biblical philosophy of government. The early twentieth century author Sinclair Lewis allegedly said, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." ( see the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. page at http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Sinclair_Lewis accessed 3 Nov. 2008. Last updated 11 Feb. 2007. ) While Lewis may have meant this to be a partial attack on the Gospel, I think we can take his observation and apply it to neoconservatism. Neoconservatives pitch themselves as being the 'Christian' choice, combined with frightening nationalism. Its the old 'Manifest Destiny: God has ordained us to carry out this great government mission' routine. I think not, and explain why. I have left the Republican Party and joined the Constitution Party, and I suggest any and all conservatives examine the Constitution Party to see if perhaps you should do the same. Even though it's not my personal choice, some may even want to check out the Libertarian Party (which is actually very similar to the Constitution Party on most issues). The time has come for the conservative movement to restore Constitutionalism to our government, and that means rejecting the Republican Party's false version of conservatism.

Dr. Paul DID cure my apathy. Ron Paul may not be able to win Presidency in 2008, but he has paved the way for a movement that will last for decades, as we all wait in anticipation for the next Libretarian candidate to step forward.

WHERE IS IT GOING, I WONDER?? St. Boniface BISHOP, MARTYR Feast: June 5 Isolated missionary groups had penetrated central Germany in earlier times, but not until the eighth century was there a systematic effort to Christianize the vast pagan wilderness. To the English monk Boniface belongs the honor of opening up this region and creating a hierarchy under direct commission from the Holy See. Thirty-six years of missionary labor under difficult and dangerous conditions, ending at last in martyrdom, entitle this good and courageous man to the designation, "Apostle of Germany." Boniface, or Winfrid, to give him his baptismal name, was born into a Christian family of noble rank, probably at Crediton in Devonshire, about the year 680. The reorganized English Church, still under the inspiration brought to it from Rome two generations earlier by Augustine of Canterbury, was full of fervor and vitality. Winfrid was a very small boy when he found himself listening to the conversation of some monks who were visiting his home. He resolved then to enter the Church, and this resolution never weakened. Winfrid's father had other plans for his clever son, but a serious illness altered his attitude, and he sent the boy to the neighboring abbey of Exeter to be educated. Some years later, Winfrid went to the abbey of Bursling, in the diocese of Winchester. After completing his studies there, he was appointed head of the school. His teaching skill attracted many students, and for their use he wrote a grammar which is still extant. The pupils diligently took notes at his classes, and these were copied and circulated in other monasteries, where they were eagerly studied. At the age of thirty he was ordained priest, and now added preaching to teaching and administrative work. Winfrid was assured of rapid advancement in the English Church, but God revealed to him that his work was to be in foreign lands, where need was greater. Northern Europe and most of Central Europe were still in pagan darkness. In Friesland, which then included modern Netherlands and lands to the east, the Northumbrian missionary Willibrord had long been striving to bring the Gospel to the people. It was to this region that Winfrid felt himself called. Having obtained the consent of his abbot, he and two companions set out in the spring of 716. Soon after landing at Doerstadt they learned that Duke Radbold of Friesland, an enemy of Christianity, was warring with Charles Martel, the Frankish duke, and that Willibrord had been obliged to retire to his monastery at Echternacht. Realizing that the time was inauspicious, the missionaries prudently returned to England in the autumn. Winfrid's monks at Bursling tried to keep him there, and wished to elect him abbot, but he was not to be turned from his purpose. This first attempt had shown him that to be effective as a missionary he must have a direct commission from the Pope, so in 718, with commendatory letters from the bishop of Winchester, he presented himself in Rome before Gregory II. The Pope welcomed him warmly, kept him in Rome until spring of the following year, when traveling conditions were favorable, and then sent him forth with a general commission to preach the word of God to the heathen. At this time Winfrid's name was changed to Boniface (from the Latin, bonifatus, fortunate). Crossing the lower Alps, the missionary traveled through Bavaria into Hesse. Duke Radbold had died and his successor was more friendly. Going into Friesland, Boniface labored for three years under Willibrord, who was now very old. Boniface declined to become Willibrord's coadjutor and successor as bishop of Utrecht, saying that his commission had been general, "to the heathen," and he could not be limited to any one diocese. He now returned to work in Hesse.
