Just being blunt about it, Reaganaut, we don’t despise abortion as much as the abolitionists of their era despised slavery.
We accept a 2 week or a 12 week old pre-born being sliced and diced, or we accept a bastard pre-born from some faulty union being sliced and diced, but we don’t really rail against it. In fact, we vote for it, apparently.
The abolitionists would have been better, I suppose, to have insisted on 40 hours of free time per week for each slave.
Then they could have rested easy.
The didn’t think of that, so they went all out and formed a new party.
That is my only moral, purposeful choice. To vote for conservatives up and down the ticket is the right thing. Jim is right about that. I’ll do that.
But, I’ll also vote Goode for President, since he is the conservative in the race.
However, that vote truly is cast out of futility if I don’t couple that vote with a real purpose. Somehow that vote must be intended for a greater end. That greater end can only be the intention to build a new vehicle for conservatives that has a real chance to win presidential elections.
I am not into casting symbolic votes. I need a real purpose behind my vote. It must be cast as my opening round in the fight to secure a new political home for my conservative beliefs.
I’m with you. The GOP needs to go the way of the Whigs.
This isn’t a token thing for me either. I need a new home, even if I have to build it from the ground up.
There is great irony in that Romney, the grandson of a polygamist, will be the one to bring down the party that was founded to abolish Polygamy and Slavery.
Well said.
