"There is such a thing as an American mainstrean with the God-hating, pro-sodomite, cultural elite Europe worshipping secularist outside it at one end and the Social Darwinist, free trade at all costs, "Ive go mine so screw you" libertarian outside it at the other...they are both pagans so I wonder how opposite they really are?"
Okay, I will attempt to accurately translate this.
On one end Sodom and Gomorrah...on the other end...Laodicia?
I thought the spectrum was more like:
Sodom and Gomorrah on one end...and on the other...a Christ abiding Representative Republic.
What we have, according to the argument in this article, is a situation where Republicans are beginning to embrace a more expansive, intrusive government. This is based on a social gospel, if you will. For true fiscal conservatives, this is unacceptable.
As to your apparent dislike of Libertarians, their party platform is actually closer to the intent of the Founding Fathers. I do have my issues with the platform, however.
A social gospel, in effect, is a logical consequence of the global economy.
And in the spectrum, I was citing the politically embarassing extremes of both Right and Left.
"a Christ abiding Representative Republic"? You are joking, yes?
The amusing thing is that, to the extent that Sham has any point at all, is that he is predicting the death of social conservatism as a viable political force. People who can't take it as given that they're going to be able to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table simply don't have the luxury of getting themselves all worked up over the spectre of atheist gays looking at pictures of nekkid wimmin.
