What is "Conservatism"? A Pointed Question for the non-McCain/Bush/Reagan Republican Party

What is conservatism?

At one point (the time of Abe Lincoln, the time of Ronald Reagan, the years 2000 - 2005), being "conservative" was fairly straightforward.

Pro-Judeo-Christian Ethics (for example STRONG Pro-Life stand, STRONG Pro-heterosexual stand, etc.).

Pro-Western Historic Civilization (i.e. Christendom!).

Pro-Free Market Economies.

But, today, in 2007, as we gear up for the 2008 Presidential Election, being "conservative" apparently ONLY means being a "rich Mormon" or being a "rich New Yorker."

Rudy Giuliani is pro-abortion, yet the Republican Party "conveniently" overlooks this point (along with "overlooking" G.O.P. Governor Arnold Swartzeneggar's own Pro-Abortion stand!).

Mitt Romney, although presumably Pro-Life as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), is still nonetheless, NOT in favor of the Historic Christian Church upon which Western Civilization was built.

From St. Augustine's De Trinitate through St. Thomas Aquinas, John Wesley (and other Protestant Reformers such as Luther, Calvin and even Zwingli), God is One-in-Three, the Triune God-head of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

But, rather than supporting Traditional Catholic and Orthodox Protestant Republicans (and also Faithful Jews, brothers in the Abrahamic Covenant), the Republican Party is lifting up a sect that is opposed to Christian Salvation itself. Martyrs throughout Church History have defended the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, Fully Human and Fully Divine. Kings, such as Edward the Confessor, Saint of the Catholic Church, have similarly upheld such Trinitarian Theology for the salvation of all lost souls in purgatory and for the salvation of all mankind. Yet, the Republican Party lifts up an Abortion Rights Supporter (Giuliani) and someone of a sect opposed to Orthodox Christendom (Romney).

LORD Jesus, save us from the Republican Party's current leadership!

LORD Jesus, please return the G.O.P. to men and women of Noble Character such as Abe Lincoln, George W. Bush and John McCain.

LORD Jesus, deliver us from the likes of Romney and Giuliani.

Jesus, You ARE KING of kings and LORD of lords.

In your Name LORD Jesus, do I pray,
Rob J King, Trinitarian Christian
