A conservatism not based on the foundations of the Bible is a Christ-less conservatism.
Yes. It seems to make sense too, considering how Jesus was liberal for his time, at least according to what is attributed to him if he really lived. He said to help the poor, was against stoning women, debated the traditional writings, told you not to judge people but to love them, not to be violent, to care about treasures in heaven, not about riches... It's obvious that "US conservatism" is really not about Jesus and his ideals. Closer to money, corruption and oligarch worship. A theocracy would violate the constitution anyway.
Jesus is the standard by which all moral law is based.
This appears to be very relative. A golden rule to treat others the way we expect to be treated is a good start, but that's rather universal. There's even evidence that empathy was beneficial for survival during our evolution. But it also seems that ethics continued to progress. Then there are those claiming to be Christian but who want to regress to the Inquisition. Some promote lies against people and promote their murder. Some promote slavery. Others promote bigotry and harassment.
Remove Him and His Name from your political ideology and you find yourself in bed with the Log-Cabin conservatives.
Should I really call them "log-cabin conservatives"? What about calling those who claim to follow Christ but obviously don't, hypocrites? That's how Jesus called them. When did Jesus try to overthrow a state? A kingdom in heaven is not "America". And in the US, everyone can practice their religion and the government has no right to impose one.
I liked Creedence Leonore Gielgud's comment, about the typical cult deception. A hypocritical public image and luring tactics, then the real "food" radicalization regime begins. If you detect it and leave on time, great. Once you've let them have power over you, especially if you've allowed them to isolate you, the entrapment is very difficult to leave. If you've invested a lot in it, it may also be too late, you can no longer reason normally and may lack the resources and connections to leave. Some people use cults for their own power trips and gains, others are ultimately exploited. When it's a patriarchy, women and girls are at the bottom and may not be able to report abuse, when they do, they face shaming and oppression. The same with brothers who are told not to get the law involved when they're financially abused by others.
You want the government to be run by that kind of mafia? Rethink it. Look at actual rogue dictatorial regimes. Not happy people. And look at the Russians dying in Ukraine, right now. Russia illegally trafficking asians to be frontline cannon fodder. Desperate North Korea sending its young men die for desperate Putin. Such regimes don't represent their people, their people are only servants for inhumane grinding, lives are cheap. How do they make sure that you have no choice to join the army? When it's "voluntary", indenture, making sure that you're unrealistically indebted for basic life necessities. When it's not that, you just don't have a choice, it's go die there, or face oppression here. Even as military strategy, that's poor, compared to real trained professionals, the reason they also need to hire such or to nationalize them. There's even some child labor involved in cheap drone fabrication, instead of being in school.
You want the US youth to be Oliver Twist? Putin would love it and is trying to divide the West and destroy its success. Read about "Social Design Agency"'s Doppelganger, after the "Internet Research Agency". It doesn't stop...
