This is the fourth paragraph + of the letter I am sending to the RNC:
The programs of LBJ’s Great Society have devolved into a sweeping failure which has seen the exponential expansion of an underclass that this country should never, never have allowed to happen. That the greatest majority of this underclass is black and Hispanic should burn the conscience of every true conservative, but instead of our “party” seeking to right this wrong, it has simply joined in the degradation and pandered to these “victim” groups as if they belong where the Democrats put them.
Instead of challenging Democrats within these groups, you have chosen to compete on their level by promising them even more of the same. Why should they come over to our side when they can get “more” of the same right where they are, on the road to nowhere? Two wrongs don’t make a right.
That is not Conservatism. Conservatives did not cause the plight they are in, and because we did nothing to change it, the Democrats have a voting block that is almost 100% solid even though they are less well off now than they were before. How can you condone this?
Had you not condoned it, the stage could not have been set for Obama to be elected simply because he is black.
This is repost too. Might as well start from the start. beginning of letter to RNC and others:
I have been a registered Republican since I became old enough to vote. I chose to be a Republican because the Republican Party claimed to uphold the ideals and values my parents taught me, and those I gained as I grew older. Namely personal responsibility, honesty, and the very real belief that the Constitution was wholly based on the fundamental rights endowed by Our Creator to individuals (not groups of individuals,) and by extension to We the People as a whole.
Those were all the things I believed the Republican Party stood for. Since then, I have watched the party lower its principles and standards one by one. Bigger government. More entitlements. Less rights for all and more for a chosen few.
Little by little, you have deteriorated the Second Amendment. You call them “common sense” laws. We call them unconstitutional bars to the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. Those who vote for gun control incrementalism are RINOS. We will not tolerate it.
Since the advent of Roe V Wade, the party has accepted the false premise that it is a woman’s right to kill her unborn child for various and sundry reasons,as long as the government doesn’t pay for it. You do nothing to enlighten the public that abortion is NOT a right granted under the Constitution, and should have never been seen as such. You have been cowards, hiding behind the false premise you think we are too stupid to understand. Anyone who believes that abortion is a “reasonable” answer for anyone to anything is a RINO. Anyone who votes to allow fetuses to be killed for stem cell research is a RINO. We will not tolerate it.
Furthermore, you have never tried to reverse that disastrous decision, preferring instead to make workaround laws that have the pretense of doing something, but end up nowhere and change nothing. We are tired of it.
