The government would have you believe marriage is simply a government issued legal contract for two agreeing parties. On The Conservative Declaration Talk Show Program, we deny that thought process completely. The government has no (should have) place in marriage as it is a "contract" between a man, a woman and God. No state in that equation. On this episode we will discuss how the goverment got in the business of marriage and why it was wrong then and why it is wrong now. What are some of the risks we take by letting the government in this bond? Why does it want in so badly? Can homosexuals get married? Should they have legal "recognition"?

These activities may be considered unsavory by the majority of us, but does that mean we should restrict the free choice of others on the issue? As conservatives, we say "no!" Many so-called conservatives believe it is a good, American idea to ban such raunchy activities and we'll hear from one of these social conservative Republicans on the show - Dr. James Dobson. Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:00:00 EST http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/talk/ http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/talk/audio/Episode-46.mp3 This week on The Conservative Declaration Talk Show Program, we talk on the minimum wage.

Wed, 2 Sep 2009 12:00:00 EST http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/talk/ http://www.conservativedeclaration.com/talk/audio/Episode-43.mp3 This week on The Conservative Declaration talk show program the topic is socialized medicine. The premise of socialized medicine is just like that of any other big socialist program: steal the fruits of citizens labor (those who choose to work) and redistribute the money through a government-run "service". Universal healthcare fits that bill, but there are other risks at stake too. Not only will the quality of our health care go down, but the government (err, our doctors) will be able to tell us how to live our lives or else we lose our coverage. We will also lose our privacy when the government knows our personal health information. It's a rocky path to go down, follow us back to the top of the mountain for the truth on the issue!

CO2, the natural greenhouse gas that makes up less than 0.06% of Earth's atmospheric gases. The CO2 that is expelled and needed by every living organism to live and grow. The CO2 that is currently in our atmosphere right now, and the CO2 that was in our atmosphere 400 years ago when it was in excess of 10 times the amount it is today. Al Gore was right when he said, "the debate is over." Man-made Global Warming is a lie used by the government and power-hungry politicians to control our actions - and this scam has only just begun.

It is an amusing notion, but sadly, the majority of the "leaders" that are heading the remodeling of the party believe the lies that legislating morality, nation-building, and big government spending (through appropriate vehicles, of course) are Conservative ideas. They aren't steering the party towards a rebuild on a solid foundation of Conservatism. Instead, they're trying to slap a fresh coat of paint on the ugly beast to hide the hidden ideology and agenda thereof - big government corporatism.

This History Lesson doesn't so much discuss a particular event or person, but rather a breakdown of political systems from a historical perspective - and no, it is not explicitly a left or right system like you think.
