Times have not changed since Christ debated with the rulers of the synagogues. Today's elites are the true spiritual heirs of his antagonists.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12
A good friend of mine (whom we shall call X herein), recently raised
a very important question (see title) that we often fail to
answer, mostly because most of us simply can't. This is because there are 2
kinds of true conservatives:
1--the kind who have been brought up to believe in
a rigid conservative ideology, whose instincts tell them they are right
but who have no idea why or how to defend it. This group is hard put
to articulate its ideas and hence often reacts with anger to the Left and
to 'moderates.' They expect them to understand common sense, and in a perfect
world, they would. (They don't understand the spiritual block against
understanding).
2--the kind who have thought things through and
can answer the questions of the Left and the 'moderates' who are deceived by the
Left.
I strive to belong to the latter group. Lord forgive me where I have
failed, but I try. Here is my response to X's question as to why moderates are
different from conservatives.
