>> Calling conservatives “single issue” and “social issue-only” is like waving around a large red flag that says “I’m an unprincipled Republican hack.” >>
I am sure you believe that, but this is where we have differing depths of analytical ability. While it is true that some “unprincipled Republican hacks” may say that, it is not true that everyone who would say that is one.
The reverse is that some who are single issue folks are economic and foreign policy illiterates or perhaps even economic liberals in some cases. But I would never say they all are.
Conservative to you means social issues period. I intellectually think that is flawed. To me it means Constitutionally limited government and pro liberty - which includes the right to life and a recognition of the religious underpinnings of our Founders.
Again, you have a very shallow way of defining everything and apparently, everybody.
The majority of my published work (and covert ghost work) is hard core anti establishment and anti elitist. Thus, the idea that I am some “Republican hack” is ridiculous on its face. To put that in evidence to simply show you are full of it is a reasonable reply on my part.
More hogwash.
