One would have to be comatose not to recognize the cultural war raging within the GOP--the next couple of years could be the death of the Grand Old Party.
Each American must decide whether fear of other candidates and pragmatism are more important issues than those principles which are clearly defined by Divine revelation and proven over time to be paramount--the hour grows late...
Glad you pointed this out. Following the Rudy threads here has been like witnessing a debate between social conservatives and leftists--same arguments, same sloganeering, same distortions of data to belittle conservatives and the causes dearest to our hearts. Basically, every reason the Reagan Democrats gave for voting GOP has been belittled or ridiculed except one: the concern about national defense. And what have we heard about national defense? That Rudy talks tough. It's just horrible.
The sad truth of it is that Rino Rudy is so liberal he makes me lose my fear of the rats. If he is nominated I will go third party.
" than those principles which are clearly defined by Divine revelation and proven over time to be paramount- "
Funny, I get a different Divine revelation out of the Bible and it has precious little to do with aligning federal law with Puritanical bigotry.
I won't miss you guys either when you pack your bags and find some nutjob 3rd party that embraces secular enforcement of a specific religious interpretation. Maybe after that, we in the GOP can get back to the issue of limiting federal power, reach, and wealth. Lord knows those issues have been neglected completely in the wake of this failed, and *painfully embarassing* religious coup.
I hear the Taliban has good, "conservative" responses to gays, abortions, and adultery. Check out of Qu'ran maybe you'll find some inspiration for your psuedo-crusade of morally judging people through secular law.
With Rudy, it will continue (at an accelerated rate) the 'morphing' from the conservative 'Grand Old Party',,,,to,,,,the liberal 'Gay Old Party'.
Very nicely put!
