[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are a religious conservative most likely they should go to a religious school.
If they are a [b]normal conservative[/b] like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, or George W. Bush then they should go to any school with everyone else.
If they are a MAGA than they should not go to college at all because either their worldview is inconsistent with a higher education.[/quote]

So being religious conservative isn't "normal"?[/quote]
Yes, a religious “conservative” wants religion intimately involved in their government while traditional conservatives do not. [/quote]

Wait..."normal" conservative George W. Bush had Wheaton grad (and by all reports all-around excellent human) Michael Gerson as his speechwriter. Gerson, RIP, was basically the opposite of MAGA. He's a major reason W started PEPFAR and tried to help with the HIV/AIDS epidemic around the world (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/09/13/george-bush-pepfar-michael-gerson-words/). David French is a religious conservative and it's on the basis of that religion that he takes the various stands he takes in the NYT.

Don't go confusing all of us who are religious and also conservative with Christian nationalists. Many Christians have theological issues with trying to combine the church and the state (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_kingdoms_doctrine). And that's not even to mention those who aren't Christian whose religion has it's own thing to say about the relationship between their faith and the government.[/quote]
