I’m a constitutional conservative. I voted for Trump three times. I don’t believe in forever wars, I want secure elections, less federal spending, lower taxes, free markets, strong borders, and a government that actually stays inside its constitutional lane.
What I do not want is this postliberal idea that Washington should decide what the “common good” is and then use impose it on everyone else.
I can oppose endless military interventions without wanting America weak or isolated. I want overwhelming deterrence, strong alliances where they serve American interests, and the ability to defeat threats without occupying half the planet for twenty years. I also don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon but I want deterrence and containment that actually works, not senseless entanglement or another open-ended war in the Middle East.
I can want Washington to stop running trillion-dollar deficits without pretending the solution is to surrender one of the greatest economic advantages this country possesses: the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency. If politicians are abusing that privilege by overspending, the answer is stop the spending, not destroy the privilege.
I want the rest of the world choosing American markets, American assets, American businesses, and American dollars because we remain the safest, freest, most productive economy on earth.
Strong nation. Limited government. Secure borders. Secure elections. Fiscal discipline. Free markets. Constitutional rights. Military strength without permanent war. American economic dominance without central planning.
You do not fix the failures of big government by creating a different version of big government and calling it the “common good.”
And I have absolutely zero interest in abandoning constitutional conservatism for postliberal slop just because some people on the right decided freedom, markets, divided power, and limited government aren’t a magic wand that can undo decades of problematic spending and policy.

Congratulations to these players for being voted onto the First Team All Dixie Collegiate League and for having great summers!
I would genuinely like to know: what is it about Scripture that leads people to believe that a God who created human beings with moral agency and free will would endorse political ideologies that replace voluntary obedience with coercion?
Socialism and communism rely on compulsion. They require people to surrender property, resources, or decisions through the power of the state rather than through voluntary love and generosity.
But throughout Scripture, God calls us to obey Him freely. We repent by choice. We worship by choice. We give by choice. We love our neighbor by choice. We feed the hungry, care for the sick, welcome the stranger, and help the poor because Christ transformed our hearts not because He compelled us to.
Paul writes, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion” (2 Corinthians 9:7). What about that leads pastors or priests to believe that anything in the Scripture endorses communism or socialism or nanny state social policies?
We, as individual Christians and collectively through our churches, are called to care for those in need. What the heck does that have to do with government?
