When the country elects liberals it gets liberal policies AND liberal courts. Obama was elected in 2008, along with a Democrat majority in the House, and a Democrat Super-majority (60 votes) in the Senate. The nation immediately saw how bad that really was, and even replaced Ted Kennedy with a Republican in an attempt to stop Obamacare (now SCOTUScare).
The nation has been trending conservative ever since. We now have Republican majorities in both houses and a very strong Republican field running for president against a very weak Democrat field. Unfortunately, there is a lag in the court appointments since most serve until they choose to leave.
It's now time for EVERYONE to pull together, and take advantage of the conservative trend, and throw the Democrats out. Remember, it was the R. (RINO) Scott Brown who succeeded Kennedy. The reason SCOTUScare isn't much worse is that he broke the Democrat super majority in the Senate, and prevented passage of an even much worse bill.
It isn't nearly as bad as the Sunday shows will try to make us believe. Let's stop the sniping at the conservatives who aren't perfect, and start fighting the REAL enemy, the liberal wolves in sheep's clothing, who win elections with lies and media coverups.
I've always been a staunch Reagan-style Republican but Republican does not necessarily equal conservative. I know you know that, so I'm not pointing that out to accuse you, Norwaypinesavage!
Conservatives should remember that before Reagan, not all Republicans were conservative. Some in fact were liberal: Nelson Rockefeller, for example, who was Vice President from 1975-76, was one. It took the Reagan Revolution to turn the party into a conservative one.
However, that didn't mean the liberals in the party just disappeared. Many run now claiming conservative ideals and principles, but vote otherwise.
Still, as the Republicans turned conservative and lately--what are they?--the democrats have gone full-blown socialist Marxist.
The media, of course, has been the real steersman for all this. Sometimes I wonder, with homosexuals making up at most 3% of the country, what is the percentage of homosexuals in the media?

This may not be the forum for the type of RINO worship you are advocating.
