The Welcome Movement is the social, spiritual, and political reform movement of our times

1. FIRST, we are a reform movement. We are egalitarian, not elitist. We are not happy with the status quo of the Republican Party. We define a moderate and populist version of Republican theory that can be embraced by a firm majority of Americans, especially including immigrant and minority groups. It’s time to end the political hate game of the Left and Right, and “Welcome” everyone. Politics must be about acceptance, not exclusion. The right column (scroll down to see) outlines our reforms to Republican policy and ideology.

2. SECOND, we are broadly interfaith in that we outline a set of spiritual values common to most Faiths, even many outside of Christianity, but we are not an "Interfaith Movement". We “Welcome” everyone to embrace these spiritual values, and to view it as the needed foundation for government, for public education, and for society’s morals and values. Various Faiths and denominations have been so focussed on the details that divide them that there has been no united front against the secularism and atheism that is collectively destroying all of us. I am personally Christian, I only read the King James Bible, and I believe that our nation is defined by the Judeo-Christian tradition. However, this website is simply not the forum for me to promote details on the truth of the Bible. Instead these spiritual values are deliberately Faith-neutral in order to be acceptable to almost every Faith group, and even to many non-believers. This list is complemented by a second list of values and virtues from America's past. These lists are collectively a conservative perspective, and are presented in a way that can be accepted by people of all Faiths and ethnic backgrounds as an alternative to the "Established Disorder" of secularism, Critical Race Theory, and atheism.

3. THIRD , it is to establish a populism that shall challenge popular culture and the four big industries (Arts & Entertainment, Media, Fashion, and Advertising) that control the values and direction of our society. Their hegemony must be ended, and we boldly challenge them with our populist counter-initiative. We are disgusted that they own the Democratic Party. They continue to divide America by race, national origin, and religious beliefs with their Saul Alinsky tactics. We will be weak, silent, and divided no longer. United we stand, divided we fall. We must include all immigrant and minority groups in both advocacy and leadership roles.

Overview Of These Two Lists

We present the above two lists of core values are the basic Conservative vision. As a nation, we have drifted so far that it is necessary to list these prominently on our website. What is "conservative" is based on social values, and once those values are established and accepted, there can then be debate on what kind of economic system best serves the needs of the people, and best allows these values to advance.

The basic conservative theory is that if everyone lived and conducted business with the above two sets of values, the greatest number of people would live happy and productive lives, and there would hardly be any need for government, social services, law enforcement, courts, and taxation. 

Decades ago, everyone knew this was the theory; some agreed, and some disagreed. No problem, it's a free country. 

But in our modern times, both the Left and the Right have so distorted the discussion of issues that many people think "conservative" is about fearing immigrants and minorities, forcing a religion onto everyone, and amassing wealth at the expense of others. That's incorrect, and that's not our vision. 

It's therefore necessary to define the term "conservative". And now that it has been done, it should be clear to the readers that conservative theory is very desirable, and that it can exist in every country on Earth. If you are not sure, re-read the above two lists. Those aren't values for White American people, those are values for everyone. 

Ironically, the further concentration of poverty is part of the transformation of America. Barack Obama said he wanted to "fundamentally transform America".

Here's how he actually did it:

1. The more that people are tenants, the more they vote Democrat. Home ownership rates continue to decline. Millions of homes that were lost to foreclosures are now owned by investors and rented out. Home prices are too high, and changing mortgage rules are locking people out.

2. The more that people live at high population density, the more likely they are to vote Democrat. Construction of multi-family housing is booming, because families cannot buy homes.

3. The more that people are poor and struggling, the more they vote Democrat. Poverty is actually increasing, and the criteria used to define the federal poverty level has not been altered despite extreme cost increases for rent, insurance, medical, and day care. Any statistics showing a decrease in poverty are distortions that don't take this into account. The country is "prospering economically" because the top 5% of the population does 95% of the spending, and that top 5% has been doing very well. This is a recipe' for extreme social and political conflict, and possibly the rise of Socialism. Capitalism isn't working for everything. Our goal is that it must work for everyone.

4. The more that people reject God, the more they vote Democrat. All of the social and cultural changes advocated through popular culture are moving in this direction. Our youth are taught that religion is ignorant and backwards, and that the true leaders of modern society are artists and entertainers. This is absolutely the focus of the Democratic Party. It's a War on God, and it's being conducted under the banner of sexual and gender freedom of every possible variety.

Who do we want. In short, everyone.
