One Conservative Christian’s Beliefs

Eric Willis

I believe:

• This nation was founded on Christian-based principles.

• Our very existence, as individuals and as a nation, is a result of God’s grace.

• Our existence will continue to flourish only as long we acknowledge, as individuals and as a nation, God’s Divine Providence.

• The laws of our nation should never conflict with God’s word.

• God’s Word is not complicated. Our method of governing ourselves is complicated because we’ve made it so. We need to simplify it.

• The welfare of our citizens should be our first priority.

• We should be able to be proud of our nation and always be a model of what a people should be to the rest of the world. We should never have to apologize for anything.

• Our nation should provide the opportunity to all to make a living…not provide a living for all.

• We should always help fellow citizens who are unable to help themselves. Those who are able should work to support themselves and their families. All programs established by our government that encourage any environment other than this should be abolished.

• No one should harm or attempt to harm someone that is defenseless. It is wrong to kill unborn children and we should not sponsor this practice fiscally or through silence.

• This nation began as a nation of immigrants. We have laws that specify how non-citizens are to enter and become citizens. These laws should be enforced. We should welcome those who enter legally and deport those who don’t.

• We should have a strong military for the purpose of defending our land, which includes our borders, from any enemy or criminal action.

• The vast majority of decisions that are made by a government should be made in an individual’s state capital, not the nation’s capital. Home state officials are familiar with issues the state faces. Officials in a state 3,000 miles away are not.

• Our practice of passing legislation containing vast numbers of unrelated issues should cease. A bill addressing a specific issue should be presented, debated on its’ merits and voted on.

• No one should serve more than 2 consecutive terms in any office, including the judiciary.

• Judges are responsible for ensuring the law is observed and followed, not for interpreting it. All our laws related to criminal behavior should be simplified. Mandatory sentences for crimes should be put in place and served when trial convictions occur.

• A fair, flat tax rate should be enacted for all.

• Government should be as small and unobtrusive as possible.

• Marriage was instituted by God to be between one man and one woman. Recognition of any man made alteration to this is an abomination to Him.

• We should enjoy freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. Our government encourages the free practice of every religion known to man except Christianity. Christians are told to be tolerant of others, no matter how abhorrent their behavior. Christians are told not to pray at school. Christians are told it’s unacceptable to have any references to God in any government buildings. We should enjoy freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

• The freedom we enjoy in our country, the freedom that attracts immigrants from all over the world, was founded on Christians-based values over 230 years ago…and our government is doing everything it can to remove all evidence of God in our lives.

• Conservative Christians are less visible politically than other groups because their priorities are generally consist of working for a living, maintaining a household, raising children, paying bills, going to school functions, being involved in church activities, enjoying time with family and friends, etc.

• If this country continues on its’ current course, our children and grandchildren will not grow up in the nation that we did…the nation and the principles for which our forefathers worked so hard to establish and that many of our ancestors fought, bled and died for to preserve.

• It’s time for Conservative Christians to become more involved in our nation’s government and more vocal about what we want. We have to make our views known to current elected officials and candidates through e-mail, phone calls, US mail, voting, attendance at political meetings, etc.

• Those who don’t believe in these principles will do everything in their power to see their destruction.

• The Truth will only be heard if WE speak it. It is our responsibility. No one is going to speak for us.
