Recently I have been thinking about how the political Left has somehow won the monopoly on the "we're the ones who care" market. Many people identify the politics of caring and sympathy with the Left. I read a blog the other day that was talking about authors and why they are almost all very liberal. The blogger explained that to be a good author you have to really love and understand people. And, of course, once you love and understand people, you will be liberal. Well, it makes perfect sense right? Don't the truly sympathetic people in this world always lean to the Left? Aren't the liberal policies always the ones that benefit the poor and the needy? The liberals are the ones who really care about human rights and ensuring minorities get a fair deal, right? I don't think so. I submit that it is the political Right that actually cares for the individual.
So, the purpose of this blog is to defend that position. I think the Right needs to reaffirm its hold on compassion and caring. I will expand on my thoughts in later posts and attempt to tie them into current political events. Please feel free to comment on my posts, especially if you disagree with me, I like it when I am forced to rethink or defend my position. Enjoy!

This post implies that the Left is wrong and Right is, well, right. Have you considered the possibility that the Right and the Left are both nothing more than the philosophies of men? Did Moses come down with tablets outlining the glories of the so-called conservative political movement? God is neither a conservative nor a liberal, although, He is caring.
In your response, I advise you not to attempt to use scriptures to support the Right-wing agenda. Don't mingle scripture with the philosophy of man.
