How Conservative Are You?

In the midst of an election that is some 12 days away (on my birthday I might add), people have drawn lines in the sand and are standing on where they are politically. I have heard it said, "You don't discuss politics or religion with anybody." Well, I some times listen to those quotes and some times I don't. I don't in this blog. Matter of fact, I will intermingle religion and politics.
For the sake of keeping the subject on the task (and without showing you my political science kidding, of course),we will drop this to its least common factor on describing the two sides of the political spectrum. Yes, I admit there are addendums and pseudo-stands in between the two. One side believes in the government providing for its citizens. We need to help people in which the government becomes the solution to all of life's problems. The other side believes the constitution has already mandated the roll of government and we need to stick with the original plan. Both agree that government has a role in helping people. We need police, military protection and some regulation to protect from products and services. We need a government that provides an atmosphere for everybody to have the ability to have life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. We need a government who has a judicial system that rules not by case law but biblical law which was the case until the latter part of the 19th century. Ok, back to the question and purpose of the blog: HOW Conservative Are you? Generally speaking, conservatives want people to take care of themselves. Well, these people want people to take care of themselves until it comes to them who need to be taken care of. If we did cut back welfare, social security, WIC program, then who is going to help the people in real need? The problem is conservatives( which I "are" one) want the freeloader to stop sucking off the teat of the government and ultimately the taxpayer, but are we willing to use our monies to help folks if those government programs are gone? If you don't want the tyranny of the government, then the solution is self support without the government.I know the excuses will fly. "Well I dont have the money?" Scripture says LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELVES." Do you? We do what we want to do. We will make the excuses. Would you be willing to sacrifice for the case of helping someone? For instance, Nashville had a massive flood. Where were the New Orlean type reports and the screaming and gnashing of teeth for the inactive of government? It wasn't reported by the newscast. Why? People took care of themselves and their neighbor. There were no stories of manipulation for a liberal agenda CNN to broadcast.Where was Geraldo? My church gives paper for the school across the street. I am sure there are folks in my church asking why. These are the same people that will be yelling about an oppressive government, but feels they should not give paper to the school because they pay their taxes....UGH...This not burger king...You cant have it your way...So how conservative are you? Are you willing to be the solution when you don't think government should be?
