If you think about it, modern liberals, when it comes to governments, are actually the "old conservatives" wanting to setup a really strong government and a dominant religion that subdues everything else: atheism, worship of science and technology as what will set us "free", self definition of morals, and oppression in the name of "tolerance".

Most Apostolic churches I have attended had a leadership model resembling the "old conservatives". They remind me of the Feudal Lord system, with Barons, Counts, and Knights closing the ranks of leadership, and the Serfs taking up the rear
