The elite media still doesn't get it. They are only adding to their own demise with gross assumptions of middle America. I resent their insipid analysis that middle America is not aware of the real issues in the United States. People chose President Bush because he will better defend the United States. The implication that the red states are homophobic is ridiculous.
They fail to hear the wisdom of Solomon in Ecclesiastes 1:9 - "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."
Mankind has faced the same problems since Adam and Eve.
It doesn't take any new, "Progressive", thinking to understand the solutions.
Conservatives rely on our core values, and these have been handed down from generation to generation since God put us on this earth.
