Quotes by Matt K. Lewis  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Conservatism is about conserving the good things about Western civilization. It’s about a rejection of utopian schemes and moral relativism—a humble acceptance that life is too complex for elites to plan. It’s the belief that Western civilization didn’t merely happen, but was instead the result of the accumulated wisdom of our ancestors. It’s about a realization that Western civilization and its institutions evolved naturally, and that long-standing traditions must be preserved.”
Matt K. Lewis, Too Dumb to Fail: How the GOP Went from the Party of Reagan to the Party of Trump

“This brings to mind the G. K. Chesterton quote: “The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected.”
Matt K. Lewis, Too Dumb to Fail: How the GOP Went from the Party of Reagan to the Party of Trump

“Scarcity leads to hoarding, which is a far cry from living an abundant life where God supplies all your needs “according to His riches in glory.” If you believe, as Jack Kemp did, that we can grow the pie, then you’re likely to be more generous with what you’ve been blessed with. But if you believe that you (and your children and their children) could lose your already-small piece of the pie, you will become fearful and angry. So which are you? Even for those who put their trust in the Lord, there are some things worthy of fear. Sometimes bad things do happen to good nations. However, it’s important to realize that huge industries called “Politics, Inc.” and “Media, Inc.” profit from pushing our emotional buttons to extremes.”
