Home - LatterdayConservative.com: LDS Freedom site - (Mormon) LDS Prophets on America, Liberty, Constitution, Government, Politics

The purpose of LatterdayConservative.com is to help others become free through learning about freedom. We approach this from an LDS (mormon) perspective, using quotes, talks and articles by the prophets and other prominent Latter-day Saints.

From knowledge comes strength, and from strength comes the power to preserve freedom both at home and abroad…knowledge is strength to a free people. [ETB]

We believe that rights come from God, and that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man, in order to protect those rights. We believe the U.S. Constitution is a heavenly banner, inspired of God. To preserve liberty we must have a proper understanding of the principles of freedom, god-given rights and the proper role of government. This knowledge, for many, has opened up a new paradigm and outlook on life. They have, as Moroni termed it, awakened to their awful situation.

Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. [John 8:32]

The Proper Role of Government

“Are there not, in reality, underlying, universal principles with reference to which all issues must be resolved whether the society be simple or complex in its mechanical organization? It seems to me we could relieve ourselves of most of the bewilderment which so unsettles and distracts us by subjecting each situation to the simple test of right and wrong. Right and wrong as moral principles do not change. They are applicable and reliable determinants whether the situations with which we deal are simple or complicated. There is always a right and wrong to every question which requires our solution.” (Albert E. Bowen, Prophets, Principles and National Survival, P. 21-22)
