As an aside, I am coming to learn that it is not just on the issues you mention where people are reluctant to do anything, but on a much, much larger scale that people are reluctant to do anything.
I see in this country many middle-class people who have just checked out. They simply want to go to work, raise their kids, and be left alone. No longer do people want, nor are they willing, to really take up any cause. Sadly, I believe people have been infused with a hopelessness, a sense of futility that it doesn't matter what they do nothing really changes.
Moreover, I really do think that Obama and Democrats share a blame here because since Clinton it seems that it no longer matters what scandal occurs people back people like Clinton, and even re-elect him. Same with Obama. Economy in the tank, trillions in debt, scandals, ineptness, and what? The country reelects him. And now Obama and Democrats openly flout the rule of law, such as how Obamacare was passed, and they see no consequences.
People have opposed homosexual “marriage” even on ballot measures, and what? Judges simply wipe out whatever the voters have said.
So, yeah, there is clearly a sense of futility among people, but the good news is that things that are impossible with men are possible with God, so take heart.
Sorry about the double post.
“The GOP is never going to win the White House again until it nominates a real conservative for President.” Apparently you still believe the GOP is not following the orders of the hidden oligarchs. The oligarchs will allow the GOP to nominate ‘a conservative’ when the oligarchs know they have one who is secretly still their man not the man of the People.
Yup. When will we believe that the Father knows are needs and therefore be emboldened as such?
When both parties are opposed to your belief’s, what do you do?
You’re certainly free to do that, as is everybody else.
Still, the problem remains that you lose the election, again to an elitist lib.
Let’s hear ONE suggestion (just one) on how to get a conservative on the ticket. My flame-retardant has about run out on this thread LOL!
You’ll never win an election by sitting at home, complaining about the candidates, and watching the whole process unfold on TV. All while you’re stuck to your keyboard flaming newbies on FR who are your allies in this fight. Again, I despise Romney as much as you do.
That’s why the Left had a white-hot seething hatred for Jerry Falwell and his allies. For a brief moment in history he convinced America that we CAN and we SHOULD legislate morality.
See post #8...it wasn’t you btw.
You act as if he was my choice. I weighed both candidates (foul as they both were) and did what I did.
If the GOP continues to push the likes of Christie, Boehner, JEB, Graham, then...yes you are correct, they’ll never win the WH again.
I’ve been called just about every name in the book here on FR. So be it....No skin off of my back. I’m no lib that can’t take it.
It’s hard to find the religious leaders we had during the 70s and 80s. It was a high point when clergy came together to get involved on a political level - they made a difference!
I’m sorry you feel like I’m flaming you - I was simply noting that your language implied that being here was the proof of your conservatism.
I would also posit that withholding votes *is* a long-term strategy to reclaim the party nominations for conservatives, albeit one that carries significant risks. At the bottom line, the GOP is showing that they feel as long as they are inches to the right of the worst left-wing marxist put up by the dems, then conservatives will fall in line to vote for the lesser of two evils.
Romney’s supposed electability was a major part of what propelled his candidacy. While the GOP elite clearly have not yet learned the lesson taught in 2012, perhaps some of the GOP electorate will heed the conservatives’ warnings.
Yes. We have seen some remarkable religious leaders in the past. Now, I just can’t think of one.
I posted my correction. That is sufficient.
