Why are you conservative?

[Jay]

I am a conservative because I am a dedicated Christian who takes the Bible seriously. Because God forbids the practice of shedding innocent blood, I can not support the cause of the abortionists. I can not accept 'same sex marriage' for homosexual relations are forbidden in Scripture. I can not support government supplying welfare as the Bible teaches that those who will not work should not eat, thus one should at least be willing to work if they are going to receive aid. Further, all charity should be done by family, friends, churches (or other houses of worship), and local communities.

I am also a believer in a stricter understanding of the Constitution than many in our government today. I believe that I have the right to say and believe what I wish as long as I am not betraying necessary governmental secrets, causing another person intentional harm, inciting a riot, or other criminal behavior. Any guns I possess are my property, and the Feds have no right to infringe upon my ownership in any form. Taking 20+% of my paycheck in state and Federal taxes is stealing. Any other questions?
