Great point of yours! “Being against abortion doesn’t make you a conservative. It makes you against abortion.”

I also noticed that along with sef-promoting Santorum, Paul Ryan has also been asked to speak. So much for not going with “Party leadership.”

Thanks, onyx!! It's so nice to get moral support (no pun intended!) here! The older I've gotten, the more crucial abortion has become as an issue for me. It and the homosexual agenda are evil and depraved, two peas in a pod; any Republican (ain't mentionin' any names, but his initials is MITT ROMNEY) who endorses using the force of government to validate either one, therefore requires people to vote FOR evil and depravity plain and simple.

One's position on abortion has zero to do with whether or not one is "conservative" or "Republican." Plenty of Democrats, screaming liberal Democrats, are as opposed to abortion as I am.

There are two primary definitions for "conserve," the root of the word "conservative." One of those definitions is to "preserve from harm or decay." The other is "to use sparingly."

Social conservatives want to use the force of government to to "preserve" society "from harm or decay."

Limited government conservatives, including limited government Christian conservatives like me, want to "use government sparingly."

Dennis Prager fails to see that the divide isn't between "social" and "fiscal" conservatives. The divide is between "use government to protect people from themselves" conservatives, and "use government sparingly" conservatives.

One wants to use the force of government for social engineering. The other respects that government is a FORCE that is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. That master has today in America become so fearful that righteous, moral Americans are FORCED to finance abortion and FORCED to accommodate open homosexuality.
