New-Conservatives.
This means that our values and traditions are new. Hogwash!! This coming from people who call themselves "progressives."
This is pure leftwing propaganda!! We still hold on to the same values, morals, traditions, and beliefs that we have always held. It is the left who have changed. It would be more accurate to say that they are Neo-Liberals and to call the Conservatives Traditionalist.
God was written into the Constitution, we as Conservatives still want God involved in our country, while neo-libs would rather force others to worship in their houses and churches only!!
The Constitutions actually says:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are those who wish it to mean:
In my opinion, the single most important part of the Constitution. Some of the first colonists of the nation for which the Constitution was written had been seeking to escape religious persecution. The constitutions of several of the states prohibited public support of religion. And above all, the many varying sects of Christianity in America required that to be fair to all, there could be preference to none. It would have been disgraceful for anyone to wish to leave the United States because of religious persecution. So they decided it best to keep the government out of religion. Now, this is not to say that the United States was not or is not a religious one. Religion plays a big role in the everyday life of Americans, then and now. But what they were striving for is tolerance... something I fear contemporary Americans are lacking.

I agree with this "opinion" as far as tolerance of other religions and the right for others to worship as they see fit as long as it harms NO ONE!!
Now as far as keeping religion OUT of government.....
This is patently false. Lets not forget that God is in the Constitution as well as our Declaration of Independance, the Pledge of Allegience, and throughout the writings of our Founding Fathers.
Instead, it says that the Government should stay OUT of religion. That as Christians we have the right to express our faith ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE we wish.
------------------------------------------
prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
------------------------------------------
Just as I believe in the Literal Interpetation of the Bible, I also believe in the Literal Interpetation of the Constitution. I says what it means and means what it says. To add to or to take away words in order for it to fit their interpetation of what it "should" mean or say, is an out and out violation of the Constitution.
This is what the neo-libs wish to do. While us conservatives have NOT changed our stance on this issue or any of the other issues.
Now if tolerance means that we should take the right to vote on issues such as Homosexual Marriage, Abortion, Taxes, or Illegal Immigration; then YES I am intolerant of those who wish to allow the Government to take our basic rights away.
We have not changed our stance on these issues, but rather the new-libs have!!
I can not nor will I compromise my faith in the name of tolerance nor will I EVER vote against what I believe is moral or right.
I am so tired of the left trying to push their morals and values on the Country.
Lets talk about intolerance a little more.
1. Telling us that we are should not be allowed to vote on the basis of religion or that those who are running for office should not be allowed to voice their faith is INTOLERANCE towards Christians.
2. Not allowing Christians to pray or meet before or after schoold is intolerance.
3. The teaching of the qur'an in public schools is OK, but don't you dare speak about the bible is intolerance.
Teaching the quran in American Schools
More hypocricy of the left. They fight for this while at the same time fight to keep the bible out of the schools. If it is "illegal" to teach Christianity in schools, then it should be the same for teaching islam in schools!!
4. Where we are called Nazi's and Racist because we protect ourselves and Israel from the religious intolerance of the muslim states. This is another example of religious Intolerance from the left.
Let me set the record straight. I am not intolerant of the muslim religion or any other religion or path for that matter. I am however intolerant of ANY religion that uses their 'holy book' out context in order to kill and persecute other's because of a different faith.
I am also intolerant of ANYONE who wishes to dictate to me when I can or can not vote on the basis of my faith.
