The Last Refuge & Sundance

Published by . Filed under

Our Mission at The Conservative Treehouse is to be the premier assembly of freedom loving people.  To that end we commit to:

(1) The highest standard of stewardship for our fellowship.

(2) Being intolerant of hate and division.

(3) Uphold faith in the purposes of a loving God; however you perceive him to be.

(4) Affirm the inherent dignity, value and right to privacy of our members.

(5) The accurate dissemination of truth; without fear or apology, because ultimately the Truth Has No Agenda.

The Conservative Tree House may be called a Last Refuge for each of us for different reasons. Whatever trail through the woods brought us here, we have shared the turmoil of storms as we have been finding our voices as individuals in this growing community

Perhaps you’ve had some truly shockingly cruel things said to you purely because you believe in limited government and fiscal conservatism. Perhaps you not only believe that we should be self-reliant and personally responsible, but also believe that when we are allowed to depend on ourselves, we are stronger, more successful, take greater pride in ourselves and our work, and are more likely to make positive contributions to society. And then we are happier people, or at least more likely to be happier.

Which lends to the following theory: Fear is at the core of modern liberalism, and love/trust is at the core of conservatism. Modern liberalism, most commonly evolved to leftism, is about control. Conservatism is about self-empowerment.
