"I think the party seems to feel they can take religious conservatives for granted and still flirt with homosexual activists, perhaps not realizing that the agendas are so diametrically opposed that this cannot hold for long. I would advise them to rethink that strategy," he said.

As we Catholics like to say, "Bingo." Republicans take conservatives for granted the same way Democrats take blacks for granted.

And don't imagne that the voting patterns of either group will change in a significant way. These clowns in power SPECIALISE in staying in power. Gaining and keeping power is what the game is all about. They know just what buttons to push and when to push them.

Bingo, indeed! I've been saying this for decades, and few have listened. Power seekers cannot be trusted, no matter what views they express. Or, as Macchiavelli put it, "Put not your trust in princes!"

these are basic axioms of government:

1A. governments do not give power away.. they dont.. that is their business, their reason for existence.. they will lie, pass false laws, create pseudo-legal unaccountable law enforcement agencies, 'do it for the children', kill you/rob you/throw you in jail, whatever it takes to get more power from you.

1B. governments are continually seeking more more power.. the more power a goverment has, the more secure its continued existence is. they will lie, pass false laws, create pseudo-legal unaccountable law enforcement agencies, 'do it for the children', kill you/rob you/throw you in jail, whatever it takes to keep the power they get from you

2. goverments are self corrupting.. how many actually selfless honest public servants work for the government?.. power corrupts.. but absolute power corrupts absolutely.. the more power a goverment has, the more corrupt they will be.

Republicans take conservatives for granted the same way Democrats take blacks for granted

well stated!

Conservatives can always stay away from the polls. I for one am tired of voting for the lesser of two evils anyway.But you can rest assured we are in the process of finding out if God is real or not.Soddom & Gommorah was not a tick on the clock compared to America and the Homosexual movement.They have had control of the press and Hollywood for years now they have taken over "The Church" and the UN.If he is there the Big Guy will soon speak and we can all run to church the way we did on 9-1-1. to listen to some Homosexual Pervert speak.
