I'd love to say this is just so much hot air and media hype. But, actually, I think he's onto something. Just check out the effusive praise on this forum for Rudy Giuliani. Much of it is motivated by a real disgust for social conservatism--i.e., the much-hated Religious Right. If the most conservative forum on the Internet is awash with people who hate religious conservatives, then something is up. I don't know if the Soros-inspired coalition of secularists and religious leftists has won, but I'd say it is definitely winning over popular opinion.

The last few months have been eye opening. There is a large number of people on FR who would be happen if the GOP became a shadow of the Democrats on every issue but one, the war. They are pushing harder and harder to git rid of the religious and social conservatives.

I honestly fear what is coming.

It's no secret what's coming. We can read it just a few posts back:
Good riddance to bad rubbish! They [religious conservatives] should have NEVER been partnered with the GOP and its small government philosophy. Brought some short term electoral success but look where we are now. Hopefully now that the "spend taxpayers money for Jesus" crew is deserting perhaps the Republican party can get back to its successful roots.
The only question is where we can go after both parties have rejected us.

I do too, except for one thing: It's going to force the real Christians to pray, unite and act.

“Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.” - George Washington

Time for a new tagline...

You do realize, of course, that every group on the right that is devoted to a single aspect of conservatism feels the same way, don't you?
