It is a culture war (and the word "war" is by no means used as a euphemism) and the Democrat Party's primary goal is to destroy traditional America and its bedrock foundation, the traditional family unit.
Like it or not, the most potent weapon we have for effectively waging this war is the Republican Party because of its extensive resources and the full-fledged political apparatus that the Party already has in place.
Strict-constructionist Constitutional "third parties" are a loser, no matter how appealing they may seem from a purist ideological point of view, because they simply cannot compete at this point. And in the time it would take to develop one (or use one to "send a message") the America-haters of the Democrat Party and the left would have all the time they need to "finish the job". Therefore, the only viable and pragmatic course of action is to keep moving the Republican Party in the right direction through grass-roots activism and the fielding of strong candidates from the local level right on up.
The scumbags must not prevail.
I remember what it was like growing up in this country throughout the '50s and '60s and I look at my children today with very deep concern indeed. Was Leave It To Beaver realistic? LOFL, of course not! But does it represent at least one worthwhile ideal? Yep indeedy. And, as a utopian portrayal of a traditional American family, it is exactly the kind of ideal which is anathema to the scumbags of the left.
Who can ever forget the 1992 Democrat Convention when Bill Clinton literally mocked "family values" as the crowd cheered in delight? I have loathed Clinton ever since. It made me want to throw up.
No. The scumbags must never prevail.
Well done.
