What is driving conservative ideology? – Kitsap Sun

Political conservatives’ ultimate concern most often seems to be to conserve their money and freedoms from government interventions through laws and regulations made by our elected political representatives. Please show me why conservatives’ greed is what we need to be great again by conserving racist and sexist social policies and tax policies that favor the rich. What is the ultimate concern driving the political policies in our country? These include anti-big government, anti-abortion, anti-science, anti-tax, anti-environment, anti-women, anti-immigration, anti-voting rights, anti-civil rights, anti-gay-rights, anti-Covid vaccinations and masking, anti-Social Security, anti-Medicare and Medicaid, anti-gun control, and tax evasion by the rich.

One of the world’s leading Christian existential theologians defined God as a person’s “ultimate concern.” Jesus said: “You can’t serve God and Mammon,” acknowledging two competing gods. Every person chooses their Its History has shown that the most popular natural “ultimate concern” has The Judeo-Christian tradition emphasizes that their Supernatural God says every human’s ultimate concern should be love of God and existential love and justice for fellow humans. The Christian Bible proclaims that the love of money is the root of all evil.” 

Is the love of money really the ultimate concern of most political conservatives? 

Maybe it is instead the development and exercising of their individual natural talents, or merely hatred of everyone who does not share their political or religious views.
