Well, that does it. We’re all supposed to be “mind-numbed robots” and listen to everything space cadet Cindy McCain tells us to do?! Bolshevik!
Miss McCain and all in her generation needs to read Phyllis Schalfly’s 1964 book “A Choice, Not An Echo.” In it, Mrs. Schlafly completely demolishes that argument. Last time I read my history, “radical right winger” Ronald Reagan was the one who was elected President while “centrist” GOP “icons” Nelson Rockefeller, Wendell Wilkie, Thomas E. Dewey and Gerald Ford never were.
Ditto.
And a good chuckle.
Also GC, reading over her post, it does not appear to be written by a 23-24 year old kid. Too erudite and smooth for a recent, what (?) college kid.
I smell a (Demo)rat.
Mehgan: STFU!
All that bandwidth wasted. Oh the humanity!
Sadly it's the truth with too many of her generation these days. Nor do conservatives advocate the parasitic way of existence so beholden to today's youth. They all think they ought to be able to lay around on the couch all day finger painting and doing bong hits while they fantasize themselves artists and expect everyone else to support them.

That would make them bums.

I spent several hours at Mark Levin’s book signing on L.I., and had the occasion to converse with many different people while we were waiting around for the festivities (I was there four more than four hours). i can not begin to explain how impressive this large group of folks was: civil, articulate, intelligent, well-behaved, polite but angry at the current course of events. It was wonderful being in the room with such great and civiized and moral people.
Centrism-—what does it mean, if anything? What is the centrist position between our God-given ‘inalienable right to life’ and ‘choice,’ which places right to life in the hands of men and their caprices? What is the centrist position between the created order, ie the two sexes male and female and the uncreated chaos of evolutionary chance, ie a continuum of ever-emerging genders, all of which boil down to androgyny? Again, what is the centrist position between immutable (not subject to change) truth and universal moral law and today’s postmodern ‘polytheistic’ view that says every man is a morally autonomous morals-maker, a god?
Centrism is merely gnostic-pantheism disguised as something else. It says it has its’ own ‘deep gnosis’-—sort of like, “I’ve got a secret, and I’ll let you know my stance after I’ve tested the winds.”
What's even worse is that the centrists "test the winds" in a morally relativistic manner.
