“Thiel was given a starring role at the convention to make some things clear. That although lip service may be paid in the party platform to traditional, biblical values and opposition to gay marriage, this is really no longer what the GOP is about. “

This isn’t new and it didn’t begin with this election. Dubya did nothing to advance any of that same platform despite having a Republican House and Senate. He left in place Clinton’s policies of don’t ask, don’t tell among others. The GOPe shares the progressive cultural values of the Democrat left, they just lie about it occasionally to get votes.

Hey noobie: cssGA30005 Since Dec 17, 2015

I don't need anyone to tell me who to vote for. GOT IT?

What makes you think I would want to vote for Ted Cruz, he's not the republican nominee.

Why don't you vote for Bernie Sanders, or better yet for Hillary Rotten Clinton the nominee of your party.

Culture war is what Clinton is depending on to win, as Obama did. That’s why both of them have been fanning every kind of social conflict possible.

Those kinds of emotionally-laden issues are the only thing that can get people to ignore her gargantuan level of cynical corruption. The Thiel appearance was in part designed to neutralize the culture war aspect of the race.

What do say about Cheney’s daughter Mary who made many a campaign appearance with her now “wife” Heather? They were together on stage at every Republican Convention.

Oh please. Just because we are right now, prioritizing the basics of government rather than trying to be strict moralists and losing, the self-righteous crowd under the veil of Reagan...whine.

If Trump wins, gets in and morals go to hell, then you can tell us how right you were.

However, so-called conservatives haven't done a damn thing to fight against the relativism inherent in the government over the past 20 years....including Cruz.

If you don't like Trump, then vote Hillary or STFU!

“Let’s have lots of new technology and growth and stop the “fake culture wars,” said Thiel.”

Fake culture wars = caring that private business owners were forced to let men into their women’s exclusive areas.

Fake culture wars = the NC law gave the choice back to private business owners in Charlotte as to who can use their women’s exclusive areas. Trump and Target can let men into their women’s bathrooms if they want to in their NC properties.

Yes it’s so fake OK.

“Run for Calif. Gov. The time may be right.”

Obviously the GOPe thinks so. The last fool that they put up for governor, Neel Kashkari, is arguably to the left of Thiel.

Kashkari supports gay marriage, amnesty for illegals, abortion, and says that he voted twice for Obama. And that’s who the likes of Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Condi Rice and Karl Rove supported as they trashed Tea Party favorite Tim Donnelly. Maybe Kashkari’s big attraction for the GOPe is that he’s a hindu and shares none of the cultural values of those dangerous hick social cons that embarrass the GOPe.

You are forgetting that the rats got both houses in the November 2006 midterm elections, due to the fact that so many on our side stayed home, because they wanted to teach the republicans a lesson. Was you one of them?

What did the rat's takeover bring us? I tell you what. When the republicans had both houses, the economy was thriving and unemployment was practically nonexistent.

Imagine my surprise last night, while watching The Social Network on TV, to hear Peter Theil’s name associated with Facebook. I’m really surprised he has any Conservative values at all. Or does he?

I can sort of half-heartedly agree with “some” of what this homo says. Opposition to “gay marriage” is pointless at this stage. Pro-life, while essential, is not really a political issue either.

But this line of his infuriates me:

“Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom.”

Well, WE did not start that debate. We think it is pretty damn simple. It is the aggressor-homo crowd that wants to have radical change here...change that no one was screaming for...and certainly they started a debate that we had no interest in having.

We lost this battle when the Millennials decided that homosexuals were the civil rights movement of the 21st century. It will take another Great Awakening to change that, and Great Awakenings occur when God chooses. Right now, the revivals of the church are taking place elsewhere: Latin America, Africa, China, even Iran. It could come here at any moment, if God wills and we are ready for it.

It might go back much longer than that. The Republican Party and corporations may very well have been paying lip service to Judeo-Christian values even in the 40's and 50's because that's what most of the American people believed, and not necessarily because the politicians or business leaders shared those same values.

We beat the commies because they were bad for business.

We failed to halt homosexuality because homos are good for business.

"fake culture wars"

And the real one? That 1% will continue to demand that normal people change.

"homos are good for business"

Is it genetic?
