Why is he so quick to divest himself of the label of conservative. Why is he so willing to allow other self-described conservatives to hijack this term? Regardless, the terms left and right wing have no real bearing on the political process of America. We deserve better than to be described by terms borne out of the French revolution that took place decades after our own.

Mitt Romney is a liberal and always has been a liberal. Norquist, at the very best, is a neo-con but is probably another liberal plant like Romney. The Republican party has a dearth of liberal RINOs but that doesn't mean that the party still doesn't have some conservatives in it. It certainly doesn't change the concept of conservatism. Conservatism is greater than party affiliation.

By my definition, Conservatism starts and ends with the written meaning of the constitution as explained by our founding fathers.

Perhaps the only way the term “right wing” would come into play is if there were a large movement to reunite the USA with the British Crown.

After all, the original “right wing” in France were feudal royalists who were willing to act as a rubber stamp for the monarch and were also against religious freedom while upholding a state church. (Funny how the left wing is much the same, although with atheism as the state “religion” and the Party in place of the monarchy . . .)

Formerly there were conservative Democrats, not so now.

Conservatives must be strong and stand up to scathing criticism heaped on them by the press if they are well known or TV personalities, sports stars, Movie stars, etc., our candidates are besmirched and torn apart for being normal clean living citizens. It is devastating to endure. Ala Sarah Palin. She faced it bravely and was not shut down. Her decision to not run must have been as a result of threats toward her family, or too low an approval to continue. Who can stand up to that? NONE OF US! MO!

Let us Thank the LORD for his daily blessings ...

God help America, in Jesus name amen.
