The Conservative movement is mostly a direct response to a determined socialist push launched in the 1960’s. What separates the two opposing political spectrums, left and right, more than anything else is not policies, philosophies, traditions, or social doctrines. It’s really God. Conservatives embrace God, or at least Godly doctrines. They consider it to be a part of their American heritage. Liberals do not.
Before the outcry I’ll acknowledge that there are conservatives who do not believe in God and Liberals who do, but they are not the rule. Christian liberals tend to hang their hat on one issue of importance, such as animal rights, and otherwise avoid the radical elements. The same on the right may happen with nonbelievers when they call themselves “fiscal conservatives,” perhaps upset with the obvious reckless overspending of Congress. These folks obviously exist but they do not make up the mainstream of either political side.
The focus of conservatism really is God based. Conservatives want Judean -Christian traditions and observances to be not only allowed, but continued in the same manner as they have been since 1776. Conservatives find their biblically based beliefs derided and openly oppressed by the very system constitutionally designed to prevent such discrimination, especially religious discrimination. The political left has taken opportunity through academic dominance to secure court appointments and use those appointments to legislate the suppression of God literally from the bench.
Along with government suppressions of their basic beliefs, Conservatives also face unwanted impositions of new ones. Abortion is one example. So is the definition of traditional marriage. Same with social indoctrination in public schools. The traditions of honest representation and personal liberty are God given rights to conservative Christian Americans, and they are being legislatively targeted and judicially removed. Under a false pretext of separation of Church and State, the left has used their judiciary advantage to stymie freedom to express religious beliefs openly. The erosion of rights and the full blown foray into socialist governing under the Obama administration has induced usually quiet Americans into activism. The recent Tea Party movement is as much a religious protest as it is a political one.
Politically liberals are Socialists with no core belief in God in general, and especially that of a Christian God. They see God as an impediment to the goal of equalizing the working class, and ruling over them. To liberals the end always justifies the means, and without a standard of God those means often include tactics of violence, deceit, bribery, and legislative imposition. They hate anything that stands in the way and as they see it, Christians are always in the way.
The Bible shines a light on ungodliness and ungodly people. People that endear themselves to promiscuity, drugs, greed, power, perversions, and dishonest gain detest biblical judgments. Hollywood actors, producers, mainstream journalists, television producers, and left oriented politicians do all they can to discredit Christ followers. As they have control of most of the microphones, they maintain a vigil of railing against anything Christian.
Liberal politicians do join religious congregations for political and social reasons, but they don’t follow Christian doctrine. They can and do make back door deals, reward campaign donors, enact shady legislation, spin truths, support abortion, and promote influence peddling, without an iota of conscience. They openly pass anti-Christian laws and policies under the banner of social justice often referencing God without following God.
Being godless leftists a tactical advantage. They have no conscience about using lies, bribes, force, or violence to achieve their aims. One would have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to see the obvious difference between any given Tea Party demonstration and a typical Arizona Law protest, though the journalists on the left are blind to it. It’s an obvious bias.
When it comes right down to the basics, when you sift through the rhetoric about fairness and social justice, the struggle before us now is between Godlessness and Godliness. Yet in the face of all of the unfair tactics the left imposes, Christian Americans still have one tool to use that is uniquely theirs. The power of Prayer.
When you get right down to it, That’s what the fight is all about.

"Being godless [gives] leftists a tactical advantage. They have no conscience about using lies, bribes, force, or violence to achieve their aims.
To be fair, having faith in God hasn't impeded many conservatives's ability to "[use] lies, bribes, force, or violence." Many pro-Christian, pro-"family values" conservatives have done plenty of unethical things in their time. Just a thought worth sharing.
Speaking of ethics, I'll pose an ethical question: should Christians be given legal precedent to preserve their beliefs in law, even if this oppresses others? Most of the things you mentioned ("Abortion is one example. So is the definition of traditional marriage.") are things that, if legally changed, could still be avoided by conservatives (eg., if gay marriages and abortions are legal, you still don't have to have one), but if gay couples cannot get married (in the name of preservation of Judeo-Christian values) aren't they being oppressed in the name of something they don't subscribe to? Why is it okay for them to be oppressed but not you?
I couldn't help but notice the comment I wrote earlier regarding this post appears not to have been approved. Why? My post was not vitriolic or predatory; I just sought to engage in a public discourse about something that many different people have many different views about.
I don't even disagree with you-- not entirely, anyway, as I agree that the biggest factor in determining the way conservatives and liberals think is their beliefs about faith. But I do think that you should allow reasonable public discourse on this site, as the ability to openly express and discuss ideas is a decidedly American ideal, and one I feel we should all support, regardless of our political outlook.
If you don't wish to facilitate a public discourse, perhaps you should disable the comments on your blog; otherwise you risk giving the dishonest illusion of a multi-sided public discourse where there is none. To someone who explicitly mentions a "belief in honesty" and "integrity" on his profile, this notion should be rather upsetting indeed.
Thank you.
