When I was doing my personal ‘vetting’ of Herman Cain, I watched an interview of him saying that he supported life from conception - even in instances of rape.
While I agree with this (throwing a murder on top of a rape is not a good thing) I did cringe.
I thought about how more than half of our country would see this man’s strong stance in this area as radical. I worried that he was *too* perfect of a conservative candidate. I worried that he would lose moderate voters and independents.
But the more I thought about it, I realized that the majority of America is worried about the rapid swing to progressive ideals. “Live and let live” worked before we had people openly advocating child sex. Common sense and normal social constraints have evaporated and now, literally, anything goes. Most people are NOT comfortable with ‘free abortions for everybody’ and do want the pendulum to swing back.
I think that we are ready for the push back.
“I think that we are ready for the push back.”
The facts in the OP article shows that politicians don’t have to be afraid to admit they are social conservatives.
I’ve always liked politicians who admitted they were 100% pro-life, regardless of the consequences.
But as it is turning out, being a social conservative is also helping candidates get elected all the more.
