“Portions of the Republican base are ferociously determined to punish Rubio for his immigration stance...”
I haven’t met anyone who wants to “punish” Rubio. He’s free to play with Chucky, Juan, and the establishment, and drink all the water he wants. But nobody I associate with will be voting for him either.
Marco Rubio looks like he can sell cars, but not a country.
The reason so many are leaving the church is because the pastors no longer teach about the Good News, word of Christ. Look at the recent Marxist pope and the homosexual loving Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists and other leftist members of the World Council of Churches. Is it any wonder, that church attendance is diminishing.
The Republican Establishment as reflected by Mona Charen and the Religious Establishment are both lacking.
God or the “Higher Power” or whatever term you or I wish to use is not lacking.
God Is Love and that Love is reflected to us at Christmas.
I must take the actions of God and Love in my life and those actions will make the world better in spite of the “Establishments” I mentioned above.
I am not on this Earth to hate people but I must do the right things even if they are contrary to what “Establishments” want.
The article is myopic. Religously conservative Blacks remain the most religious. But they trend Democrat.
There is increasing immigration from South Asians, most of whom are not Christian. But many are religious.
Mexican immigrants (legal and illegal) are extremely religious. They cannot be ignored. Their politics can best be understood by watching FOR GREATER GLORY with Andy Garcia and Eva Longoria. Get the DVD.
If Republicans want to grow demographically and get the vote of the religious then understand what Rev Sam Rodriguez says.
Mona Charen may be right — in the short term. If she is, her type of hero — guys like Rubio, Bush, and Kasich — is not going to arrest our destructive move to the left. What will be needed are wise and determined fighters who will not cave and who will be prepared to pick up the pieces when liberalism crashes. This has happened before.
Try to sneak a final entry to the Wile E. Coyote Trump Frustration Award contest. This one is novel but not very impressive.
Demographics is destiny; excellent article.
Are they implying that's because the Godless vote demonrat?
If the GOP wants to be a politically correct, multicultural party, pro gay, pro Islam, pro global warming, it won’t provide much of a home for the Christian right. As Western culture goes pop, Christians will abandon it. Christians in church only, or will-o-the-wisp Christians blown about by every cultural breeze, will apostatize to the left, and some to Islam, wherever Satan can take them, but it won’t be to the GOP. Why hang with the lapdog when you can hang with the masters.
