It's not just conservative values against socialist values. The values of it's citizens who have true Christian values has butted heads with those of MANY churches in our nation that have changed and altered Biblical truth to fit what people want. So now we have Socialists who want to raise taxes and give free things to the people without any control. We also have people who are willing to go along more or less with them and hope for a political chance to swing things the other way so as to avoid the pain of putting a stop to it. Then there are Christians like myself who follow the true Biblical word and don't make changes to the word of God. We are NOT willing to raise taxes without promises of tax cuts and the lowering of Government spending and give-aways. We believe that major cuts in Government spending and setting up a concrete plan to balance the budget has always worked in the past and will again. Yes, it will have pain envolved but I want to shake America out of it's trouble and kick start the worlds economy. Right now though, I'd say were outnumbered by about 3 or 4 percent. Thus we have out of control spending, and people who say they are.
