Cold Heat - "The momentum is in the other direction, and to swim upstream like a doomed salmon in a National election is problematic at best. The 2006 results should have warned you to this new reality. The liberal bear will be gleefully eating your quivering carcass in 2008, if you persist in fighting against the flow.

And yet, if the "salmon' don't make that effort to fight the flow, the species can't spawn and will die out. Those doomed salmon that fight that flow are what enables their species to live.

The very same is true of the ideas and principles upon which this Republic was founded. If we don't fight the flow that is sucking us down into tyranny, those ideas and principles will be extinguished as well.

The very same is true of the ideas and principles upon which this Republic was founded.

All enumerated in the Constitution, and unrelated to much of the discourse that is on this thread.

So how is attacking fellow conservatives for their social opinions related to the founding of this nation.

As far as I'm concerned, it's all irrelevant, and runs contrary to traditional conservatism.

It's not principle, it's opinion mixed with religious dogma and has no place in politics.

The strange thing, is that in response to repudiation, the answer that many on the "right" came up with is more of the same.

I guess you figure that eventually the rest of the people will suddenly "get it".

Realistically speaking......I can't stop what is going to happen, and perhaps it should not be prevented. It could be that repudiation is just what the political doctor ordered.

Tough love, or whatever............Sometimes the hard way is preferable.
