If principles are the brains of politics, the conservative movement is brain-dead.
Conservatism refuses to take our moral condition seriously.
Every American knows that God gave each of us the same natural rights. Our nation's moral character begins with that same natural law which is the basis of our rights. Thus, violations of natural law are among the most heinous crimes since they strike at the very source of our liberties. The wage for violating the law of nature is not a life of liberation but a culture of death. The touchstone is the family.
