In my opinion, if the Republican party nominates Mitt Romney, goal #15 will have finally been accomplished.
Sorry FRiend but the majority of the GOP sold out long ago. They have been Progressive Lite for so long that most right thinking American’s don’t recognize we are the frog in the boiling pot of water.
Cultural conservatism was essential to blunt the goals of the left, but we have moved so far to the left that the defense of cultural values (even here on FR) is subject to ridicule and scorn. The replacement of God and self-reliance with government is pretty much complete on a national scale and it’s probably too late to reverse the trend.
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholely inadequate for the governance of any other.” - John Adams in 1798
If theRepublican Party has their way,Romney will be the nominee.
