When the members of the Republican party betray the sound conservative principles of its founders and its own longstanding party platform and then vote in a leader whose personal beliefs and public record are more in line with those of the degenerate socialist Democrat party, then obviously the Republican party is sliding to the left. When large numbers of the members of a conservative party enthusiastically (you might even say overzealously or militantly) campaign for a social liberal and against sound conservative principles and candidates, then they are pushing the conservative principles, conservative candidates and conservative members out the exit doors.
Should the large number of members militantly campaigning for a socialist liberal for the presidency win out, and the only choices presented to the electorate by the two major political parties both share identical immoral socialist liberal ideologies, and the voter is left with voting for a socialist or a socialist, then obviously the resultant elected government will be a socialist government.
When the Republican Party abandons its conservative principles and abandons its fight against encroaching socialism, then obviously it is no longer a conservative party and we no longer have a major party fighting for traditional American values and against socialism.
When the American people abandon their longstanding traditional conservative family values and instead openly embrace socialism and perverted lifestyles, then America has moved left and is obviously no longer a traditional conservative nation.
When and if the American people abandon their traditional Judeo-Christian morality and traditional American conservative values, and instead opt for corrupt godless liberal/socialist immorality and perversion as the norm, then obviously America will have lost its way.
America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. The Founding Fathers warned us that our style of Republican government would only work for a moral society. When and if we as a nation turn our backs on God and the nation abandons our American traditional Judeo-Christian morals and values, and rampant godless socialism takes over, the America of our Founders ceases to exist.
You can spin it, twist it, deny it, make a million excuses and logical explanations for why electing a social liberal at this time is a good idea, but you cannot deny the simple truth. A social liberal is a liberal and liberals begat liberalism. Liberalism begats socialism. Our nation was founded on the self-evident truth that our unalienable rights come from God. Socialists deny God exists. Socialists say our rights come from men in government robes. What men in government robes give, other men in government robes can take away. Without God we have no unalienable rights. No unalienable rights means no freedom. No freedom means no America.
The most pressing issue we face today is confiscatory taxation to support government entitlements.
Next, is the threat from radical Islam...which I wish we could go back to fighting in the style of the recent Somali air support attacks on muslim jihadists.
Rudy Giuliani's abortion position aside, I saw how he handled 9-11. I saw how he ran New York City prior to that.
At this early stage in the game, he's the only one that can beat a Clinton.
That's good enough for me.
If that makes me appear less of a conservative in some eyes around here, then too bad. This is still home to me...so don't make me stay in my room.
Where to begin...I'm going to ask you nicely to explain that. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and think your fingers got a bit confused...so go ahead and explain...we'll be waiting.
He supports a ban on partial birth abortions as long as there is a provision about the health of the mother.
I asked the same thing on post 136, but got nada.
Jim, I just want to thank you for this and the other articles you've written the last few days. I've enjoyed them immensely! Thank you!

Can I throw in limited government, tax minimalism, and fiscal conservatism?
This also goes hand in hand with personal responsibility as a tenet of responsible governance.
Without naming names, but we know who I am talking about probably....
On abortion specifically, if one allots a category for abortion strictly for rape, incest, or otherwise abuse and extreme health situations how does that sit?
I mean if we can in effect legally reduce abortions by 97% but not outright have a zero tolerance no matter what...
What say you?
Me, while still not a perfect situation, its way much a step in the right direction.
Well, "socially liberal fiscal conservatives" claim to be for limited government, tax minimalism, and fiscal conservatism. If not they'd be full bore socialist liberals. Guess it's a matter of degree. Take Arnie for example. He claimed to be socially liberal fiscal conservative. Turns out he's a flaming full bore liberal. I don't think you can be half pregnant.
I don't think I'm going to split fine hairs. Abortion is the violent taking of an innocent life.

Abortion is the premeditated American government approved sometimes taxpayer funded (they're involving you and me here) violent taking of a helpless innocent human life, ie, premeditated murder. There are two lives directly affected here. The mother's and the baby's. They both enjoy the unalienable right to life bestowed upon us all by our Creator. The taking of one or the other is not our decision to make. Pray that they both receive God's blessings and the very best medical care possible to keep them both alive and healthy.
Ron Paul is looking more viable.
Only if you wish to surrender to Islam. Sorry, that's not my cup of tea.

The American people are losing the ability to govern themselves.
This country is in very grave danger. 'Pod.
