Spend enough time amongst conservatives, and you will notice a few perennial solutions given to the gradual shift away from America’s twin foundations: English Common Law, and Christianity. Whenever the Anglo-Saxon tradition of ordered liberties, and its implicit Christian foundation, is maimed badly enough, conservatives tend towards one of three solutions: form parallel communities, elect a Caesar, or, especially in the case of the religious right, assume that it is the End Times, say nothing can be done, and resort to internal exile while waiting for the (surely imminent) Second Coming. All three of these “solutions”, however, ignore the Christian imperative to transform the culture for good, and, most importantly, can be historically shown to fail. In some cases, even, a rigorous case can be made that these strategies are designed to render conservatives impotent.
