Are you a "Proservative?"

The modern conservative movement has clearly drifted from the ideas of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. It is now considered "unconservative" or even "liberal" to oppose undeclared wars, foreign aid or encroachments on civil liberties.

We need a new name for Christian political principles. "Constitutionalism" is good, but for many it is a big, vague word. "Libertarian" is also a good concept, but it is already associated with the normally pro-abortion, pro-gay rights Libertarian Party.

Here's an idea: Proservative. This would be a political movement (or almost a third party of sorts) organized out of the Ron Paul platform and its supporters. Its' name was derived from the telescoping of "conservative" with four key principles: Pro-life, Pro-family, Pro-sound money, and Pro-freedom. It is meant to emphasize the positive nature of our message. Incidentally, the name also conveys the servant-oriented spirit of Dr. Paul and all true leaders.

Also on this same theme regarding positiveness, I was thinking about the difference between the Obama campaign and the Paul campaign and Obama's mantra of "change." What America needs is not "change," but hope. Obama and Paul are in a battle for the hearts and minds of American young people, as this article and picture show. Obama thinks we need more gun control and more welfare and a new global UN tax. Ron Paul knows that the only Hope for America is in enforcing the Constitution and protecting our God-given rights. It is an almost quintessential contest of Democracy vs. Republic.

So, join the Republic side! Support Ron Paul, and do not support Barack Obama. I am convinced he is the very worst candidate for President.

In the mean time, how about considering "proservative?" :-) I might set up a poll here on it...
