Conservative Individualism


Barry Goldwater"The Collectivists have not abandoned their ultimate goal - to subordinate the individual to the state- but their strategy has changed. They have learned that Socialism can't be achieved through Welfarism quite as well as through Nationalization." Barry Goldwater, 'The Conscience of a Conservative' 1960.

Goldwater's words were never so relevant as today. Liberals, or Statists as they are more accurately described, have learned that to gain power sufficient to build a totalitarian Marxist utopia they must nationalize all fundamental aspects of the economy and private industry. When Welfarism and Nationalism seats government as the arbitrator of our education, employment, housing, transportation, security, financial institutions and agriculture it is only a matter of time until you, the individual will find yourself in the position of Ayn Rand's 'Anthem' character, 'Equality 7-2521'. We will have become the royal we. There will no longer be individuality. An individual in a country of Nationalized Marxism is doomed to succumb if not to the state, then to exposure and starvation. In an America where government pulls all the strings we will no longer have a government of the people by the people and for the people but a people of the government by the government and for the government. We will have no need for religion because the State will be our religion and government our god.

Some pseudo Conservatives believe we should not call out the Statists and reveal their agenda. They say it is too divisive. They believe the leftist propaganda that, in order for Conservatives to win, we must open our movement up to the moderates and pseudo Centrists. But that is the path of certain destruction. No, we will not water down our core philosophy just so we can be a more inclusive big tent. We are a big tent! Those of us who believe in family values, the right to personal property and the liberty to work for our own wages and build our own future, are the majority! We must not compromise in this world of desperation and exaggerated despair, we the majority must be silent no more!

We have no intentions as Conservatives to open ourselves up to those who believe in abortion on demand, the redefinition of marriage, the re-writing of history nor the godless secular notion that government can arbitrate our lives better than we or God can. The strongest economy on Earth has been so because of it's economic reliance on Free market Capitalism not Big Government Socialism. We are the strongest military on Earth because our Conservative principals required it. That level of security is possible only in a Capitalist society that breeds individualism not collectivism. It is the individual who makes the whole of society thrive not the state, and it is the Conservative who seeks to preserve and empower the individual.

So when some one says that in order to land Conservatives in power nationally we must relax our principals and embrace centrist and leftist ideology, we say with a loud voice, "NO!" We know that to win for Conservatism we must first be conservative. If we become Liberal to defeat Liberals we have won a victory for Liberalism not Conservatism! Our agenda is clear, our morality intact and our task is at hand. We must articulate our beliefs and fight for our liberty as did our forefathers! As long as we hold steadfast and remain faithful we can preserve this the greatest nation on God's green Earth for the next generation. If we become diluted by compromise our children's children will know nothing of the land of the free and home the brave!

Great Post Ken! Once again you have hit the nail on the head.
The Bible says we have to stand firm in our beliefs. If we waver even the slightest, we will become our own enemy.
God save us and God Bless America!
