Karl Quits Conservatism
By Karl Priest 10-11-13 (revised 10-20-2020)
I am no longer a conservative.
The thin thread that I dangled on has been severed by reading We Won't Get Fooled Again: Where the Christian Right Went Wrong, and How to Make America Right Again by Gregg Jackson and Steve Deace.
I did not know about this book before. Although it was published before the 2012 election it is still worth the read. It provided documentation to what I had already concluded. See http://www.insectman.us/articles/karls/political-bugs.htm
Conservative leaders are exposed in this book. I especially noted the national Right to Life.
The book proves the GOP has conned us and we (Christians) can blame ourselves by compromising our biblical stance. By that I mean we were afraid to use the Bible and firmly stand upon it.
All major battles have been lost as a result.
We need to stand boldly as CHRISTIANS. Any conservative values that come into play must be based upon the Bible.
I am a CHRISTIAN. Where conservative and Constitutional concepts match with that--they are OK. I am NOT a conservative or a Constitutionalist. I will not attach any adjective to CHRISTIAN. If any of my Bible based values are accepted by conservatives--that is great. If I accept any conservative values that are not mentioned or implied in the Bible then I am a Christian who agrees with that aspect of conservatism.

About all conservative groups do is send surveys to suckers whom they will then solicit for monetary support.

I saw a cartoon of a sheep standing in front of two doors. One said “LEFT” and the other said “RIGHT”. Looking over the top, the cartoonist showed both corridors led to the “Slaughter House”.

As a friend of mine so aptly put it, "Democrats and conservative are two wings of the same bird flying in the wrong direction."

MassResistance is a pro-family group that leads the fight against radical homosexuals. They were banned from setting up a table by a (the?) major conservative organization. Here is an excerpt from the report:
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the oldest and largest annual “conservative” conference in America…CPAC is huge. Every year it attracts thousands of people from across the US. Over the years, numerous major political figures and presidential candidates have spoken at CPAC, starting with Ronald Reagan…
CPAC goes to great lengths to present itself to the mainstream media as the gathering place for conservatism in America. CPAC and its parent group American Conservative Union (ACU), state that they are “America’s premier conservative voice” and that “ACU defines conservatism” (their emphasis).
But that is very deceiving. Similar to the direction of the GOP establishment, in recent years CPAC has become more libertarian-oriented and pro-LGBT – and hardly any pro-family groups have had exhibits or been sponsors…
(T)he radical homosexual group Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) has been a sponsor and exhibitor at CPAC. (Prior to that, another homosexual group called GOProud was an official exhibitor…LCR pushes hard to homosexualize the Republican Party and have LGBT officials and judges appointed…
In 2016 and 2017 the group Atheist Voter had a table at CPAC. (In 2015, its parent organization, American Atheists, was granted a main stage speech.) The group pushes for God-less government policies, (and) removal of “Christian ideology”…Marijuana legalization groups were CPAC exhibitors…
MassResistance wanted to have a table and promote the book The Health Hazards of Homosexuality. MassResistance was banned from having an exhibit at its 2018 session after first being approved for a table “after an involved vetting process”. This was based upon the MassResistance “Biblical approach to fighting the “culture war” (particularly the transgender agenda in public schools).”
