Reagan Knew, As We Must, That God Matters, God Matters By Bruce Walker
I believe that God matters. When I get overwhelmed and scared, I run to Him. I believe God is our way out this mess Leftists put in.
Leftism, in many ways, is simply rebellion against God. Conservatives are overwhelmingly more religious than leftists, and there is a reason for this grand divide. Conservatives know that “governments” are simply gaggles of morally flawed humans whose natural lust for power tends towards corruption and expediency.
Conservatives trust individual freedom and market economies not because we think people are naturally good but because we know that systems which allow choice provide a natural counterweight to men who would be gods. Freedom lets us gravitate toward less oppressive governments, more variety and quality and bargain in goods and services we consume, to happier relationships with our fellow man, and to all the other possible benefits of life itself.
Our system of limited government, “ordered liberty” as Supreme Court decisions used to describe it, simply maximizes the positive role of government in society: it can do no more. Heaven protect us from those who would banish all human misery through the whip of government and Heaven lead us to family, friends and neighbors content to make the world a little better.
Heaven and Hell are both very much concerns of even the agnostic conservatives on Earth. Those who try to make Heaven on Earth, as modern history shows so clearly, always make Hell on Earth, whether it is a Workers’ Paradise or a Thousand Year Reich or the Brave New World which seems the motif of modern leftism, no human efforts to banish and to replace God ever fail to collapse into misery and shame.
