I'm a Secular Conservative

By:  Sandra Price

Can anyone even imagine my predicament?

I want a limited government and individual freedoms and a separation of church and state.  I want the Federal Government to get out of the personal lives of all Americans.  I realize that many Americans need a Nanny State to guide them to tell them what they cannot do and what they must do.  The religious right has always needed more leadership since they gave up thinking for themselves and always looking to God to get them out of trouble. 

The problem at this time is that the Conservative movement has been taken over by Christians and they are divided into  categories of which is more Evangelical than the rest?  I would love to see these Americans to firm up their moral values and quietly and honestly live by them without Big Daddy living in the White House.  This search for God is not working because Christians have little interest in the U.S. Constitution.  We can’t have it both ways.  We are either Americans living under American laws or we have decided to live by biblical laws. 

My new category is not new.  I have been guided by Goldwater and Reagan agendas and have seen both men torn apart by the Religious Right. 

The last thing I want to do is vote for a Democrat but the Social Conservatives leave me no other choice.  Social Conservatives will not share and their demands hopefully will be defeated in 2008.  My dream is to clean out our government of the influence of the religious right and knock out the corruption once and for all.
