You will rarely hear about the problem, and certainly never hear any solutions other than waxing poetic on the halcyon days of yore. As I have stated in the past, the Religious Right is equally oblivious to this fact as well. Most believe that there is some moral consensus out there in the Heartland that can be appealed to when discussing the various public policy schemes that the leaders of the Religious Right have cooked up on that particular day. Truth be told, the real moral consensus is paganism. And that paganism has slowly crept into the ranks of the conservative movement.
Conservatism is bankrupt because it only works with the moral standards that the world gives it.
Whatever that standard is, it will inevitably lead to moral decay. The past, when it reflected the standards of Biblical Faith, was more or less Christian. When it did not, it was more or less anti-Christian. There can be no such thing as a conservative past. The solution of Biblical faith and truths is unpalatable for conservatives.
