It troubles me to hear the argument, "Rudy may be a liberal, but he'll keep us safe from terrorists!" To what end? If he joins with fellow social liberals Reid and Pelosi to advance a social liberal agenda he will have saved America's families from the terrorists' knives only to sacrifice them on the altar of home-grown liberalism.
With Reid and Pelosi in charge of Congress, it would be arguably easier for a Republican president to foist a social liberal agenda on us than it would be for a Democrat president. With Giuliani ramrodding the liberal Democrats' social liberal legislation through, Republican opposition in Congress could be expected to be fractured and dispirited.
A Giuliani-Clinton (or Giuliani-Obama) race would be a lose-lose proposition for America's traditional families.
As if that hasn't already been happening for the last six years.
Agreed. And ultimately, not just for those who adhere to traditional values.
In the end, the ensuing chaos and subsequent clampdown would make the lives of even the promoters of liberal/leftist policies miserable.
Exactly, and in many respects that's already true. Take a walk through some of the worst urban neighborhoods in the country, as I have if you don't believe me. Liberalism has been terribly destructive, and for decades now. And I don't need convincing. I've seen it with my own eyes and long ago.
