America is a force for good. American ideals are triumphing
throughout the world, and yet opposition to those ideas is still
there. From the various cells of radical Islamic fundamentals to
various intellectual elites in Europe and even in the United
States, America is still attacked with both words and bullet. Just
ask yourself this, would the world be better if the United States
was not active in world affairs? That is the heart of the debate.
My view is simple. America is good for the world.
Throughout the centuries, freedom has been the one entity
continuously deprived. Jesus told us "Render unto Caesar the things
which are Caesar's and unto the God the things that are God's."
Jesus' message was straightforward, there are things that are the
purview of God and man cannot interfere or deny. Christianity
reminds us that there are matters even more important than
ourselves and that even our rulers are under the power of God.
Caesar may have his place, but it is to rule not dominate. Caesar
can't be God.
Indian author Gurcharau Das once observed that democracy is best
in the hands of modest men. Modesty is a virtue for it is in
modesty that individuals understand that there are limits to
government and limits to what the courts can accomplish. Why
conservatives believe in limited government is simple. The ability
of government to solve all problems is impossible, and government
is but one actor in society. Within the whole of society, many
players interact from local businesses and local churches to local
communities. Society is made of many parts and government is the
legal vehicle to ensure that justice is for all. It is the vehicle
to protect our right, not to abuse them. Government protects the
freedom to worship, to speak out, to work and establish business.
The hallmark of a conservative is modesty.
