Why is Right Always Right?

In a comment to my AGC article yesterday, "Politics" asks the following question:

“Why is it that people on the Right always think that whatever they believe is always the truth and always the correct view(?)”

Well, “Politics”, I cannot speak for all “people on the Right”, but as for me, Christian conservative principles (I guess that is what you mean by right) and values are the key to America’s success story. This is why the “Right” is right. To the extent that we believe in and we act on what is right and on what is true, that is the extent we are correct.

I believe that the great majority of our Founding Fathers were professing, bible-believing, true practicing Christians. The Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the very structure of our government and its three branches, were based on Judeo-Christian principles and precepts. Our Fathers acknowledged God from the very beginning and He, in turn, blessed us as a nation more than any other nation that ever existed. Our natural resources, our people, a melting pot of immigrants from nearly every nation on earth, the unlimited opportunities, the rewards for ingenuity, creativity and hard work and effort, the American Christian missionary movement and our works of compassion throughout the world is unsurpassed. Overall we have been a force for good in the world. It is primarily because of this moral and Christian foundation.

There are those today in America who do not believe in morality. They do not believe in the existence of God. They do not believe that good and evil exist. Everything, they say, is relative. I say that there is right and wrong. There is good and there is evil. There are moral absolutes. God is the sole and ultimate judge. God has set the standard. God’s has benchmarked what is proper behavior, which is outlined in the Judeo-Christian Bible.

The bottom line is that man is totally depraved and apart from God. In other words, man is a sinner, a wretch. Man, in his own flesh and by his own desire, cannot attain God’s standards. However, God in His infinite mercy gave a way to meet God’s high standards and to connect to Him; He provided His own Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus said about Himself, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to (God the Father) except through Me. It is through a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ that we can have the ability to behave properly toward God and toward man. Read more.

Today the Right believes more in the Truth than does the Left. Much of the Left elevates man to a level that they treat him as god, except, of course, if they are not yet born, then they are expendable, or exterminable. Furthermore, the godless Left explains away Creation by the false theory of evolution. Many on the Right, though not all, believe in the existence and acknowledge God as Creator and as their personal CEO. Christianity, unlike socialism, Marxism or so many other “isms” and unlike even the “Christian” religion itself, is an individual personal relationship with the one true God. This personal, intimate relationship with God through the person of Jesus Christ is the essence of Christianity. It is out of this relationship, our love for God, then that we can and do love others. The whole motive for service to others is out of an understanding and loving relationship with the living God. We want to help the poor and less fortunate.

This is what makes Christianity so unique. It is what made, I believe, America so unique for so many years. But Amercia has been faltering badly of late. It is because as a nation we have permitted the atrocities such as abortion and the acceptance of unnatural, abnormal, abhorrent behavior such as homosexuality that we have stumbled and lost our way. There is a whole political party, or at least its entire leadership, has these boasts these two immoral pillars of their party’s platform. The other party has too often rejected their conservative roots, and has thereby succumbed to the influence of greedy global multinational and major domestic industries and businesses to the determent of our nation and its peoples.

What America needs, meaning each of us, individual Americans, needs is to wake up and to strengthen the things that remain and then to revive and to restore our Foundation, Christian Conservative values. What is also needed is the election of principled and godly politicians, who will not only be right, but who will do right.
