To surrender your moral foundation is to surrender everything.

I believe that Fiscal Conservatism and Social Conservatism need to work together — they support each other. But it has been decades since the GOP really accepted that quaint little notion. I’ve been compromising my whole life, and look where I’ve ended up: Obama is a near dictator and the country is in a Depression. Compromising hasn’t worked out for me.

I don’t intend to compromise anymore. I don’t intend to vote Republican anymore. I don’t think electoral politics are the solution. Politics can be pursued by other means. But you can work closely with John Boehner if you like — let me know how that works out for you.

The only compromise in the past 50 yeares has been the speed with which we march towards complete socialism.

Democrats want to convert tommorrow. Republicans the day after tomorrow.

In Massachusetts,we had a GOP chairman that declared the state GOP would avoid social issues,then ran a candidate for governor(Charlie Baker) who proudly proclaimed he was to the left of Obama on social issues,marched in gay pride parades,and boasted how his brother was "married" to another man! His running mate (Richard Tisei)was an open homosexual who co-authored the transsexual bathroom bill.Scott Brown ran ads boasting how he was proud to support Planned Parenthood and voted to repeal DADT!

Guess what happened?

They all LOST!!!!!

The lesson? You don't win elections by driving away a third of your conservative base by brown-nosing people that will NEVER vote for you anyway!

Agreed. We need to get back to the three-legged stool of conservatism.

I'm not sure how you can be both fiscally conservative and social liberal when being socially liberal is going to bankrupt the fiscally conservative part of the equation.

The Homosexual marriage is important because it undermines the foundation (The family) of the very society we are trying to preserve.

I agree 100% on what you have just said here.

Every day we find that my tagline is true. And here is the whole thought, expanded for full comprehension:

The GOP's sole purpose is to serve as an ineffective alternative to the Democrat Party. They give voters the false impression that they have a choice. Unfortunately, both choices turn the government more and more toward Statism, the difference being in terms of degrees. In modern times, the government has never gotten smaller under either party.
