The Wrong Road?

     Andrew Walker, an editor with WORLD magazine, says "The right cannot save itself by embracing the politics of resentment and nihilism."

     "Conservatism has always been a guard-rail, keeping the nation tethered to sanity, moral clarity and the lessons of history. Some believe that the future of conservatism lies in blowing it up, for something more tribal, more angry, and less moral. 

     "The American conservative tradition was never about blood or tribe. It rests on belief that human beings are endowed...by their creator with equal dignity and worth. It is rooted in Genesis, the Psalms and Paul's sermon in Athens. All people share the same origin, dignity and moral significance. 

     "If conservatives abandon that premise, we are sawing off the moral branch on which the entire American experiment sits. There is room for reform, but not nihilism and resentment. 

     "Fortunately, many conservatives still understand what is at stake. Conservatism is not defined by rage or grievance, but what is true, good and beautiful. 

     "A conservatism worthy of survival must recover its sources: natural law, Scripture's teaching, human dignity. family, social order, humility and truth. If we lose that - whatever is left will be something far more morally impoverished, and ultimately destructive."

Comment: The "left" isn't going to think and act this way, so conservatives must continue what our founders provided, and out vote the communists and progressives. The recent Biden administration showed us clearly where we are headed if conservatism weakens.
