Here it is in simple language.
The very reason we are in the handbasket heading south is not because of the leftist Democrats.
It is for this reason:
The Repbulican party which was supposed to be conservative, wasn’t. They compromised on taxes, gov function, AND SOCIAL ISSUES. They are the ones who should have been STANDING UP AGAINST the leftist crap, but instead became part of the enemy through weakness, greed, lack of strong conservative ideology, “go along to get along”, “reach across the aisle” crap.
The ONLY - I repeat - ONLY - way to win this war is for Republicans to be strong fiscal AND social conservatives and have courage to speak and act on their principles.
Compromise and social liberalism is the quickest way to go to hell in a handbasket.
I don’t know where Bush compromised on social issues that earned him a 34% approval rating when he left office.
If you want to fight abortion and gay marriage (as I do) and actually win, do it on the Constitutional playing field. We cannot lose there, as our position is unassailable. Put it back in the hands of the states and fight it locally. Or, you can preach morality to people, lose more elections and have judicial activists telling you what they read in the Constitution. Your choice.
