Have nice day
Dave, you have a great weekend, too. I hope that you get a bit of relief from the heat back there.
I’ve enjoyed exploring this problem with you.
Veritatis Splendor also makes reference to Marxism. Divini Redemptoris condemns atheistic communism.

Look to China (forced abortions) as the future American model if the Marxist advance continues. The Church will be persecuted and driven underground.
"As history demonstrates, a democracy without values easily turns into open or thinly disguised totalitarianism" Veritatis Splendor
The US is rapidly traveling in this direction, as we see.
Condoleeza Rice - I don't care for her, either. She's a George Bush creation (along with SJ Roberts). I agree almost completely with your assessment of the liberal country club republicans, with the caveat that IMO, Bush, Jr. was never very good. He gave lip service to the pro-life cause for votes. Anyway, I just heard Sarah Palin's statement in support of Rice, so perhaps the fix is in.
Aren't you weary of this crap???
Absolutely.
But...
"...our wrestling is not against flesh and blood: but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places."
If Obozo is re-elected, the GOP will have to stick together to resist him and then maybe the pro-abort, anti-military, tax on modest folks hungry, pro-homosexualist, Church hating, GOP-E slack-jawed spoiled rich brats will get the message that conservatives don't exist to be used by them. They will have do it our way (not lip service but consistent effective ACTION) or they can pay a LOT higher taxes. Those are their options. If they want this conservative vote from now on at any level, they will have to EARN it.
What I expect if he is reelected is that the GOP will continue to take the path of least resistance and eventually openly join him and throw conservatives under the bus for good. At that point, we will be firmly on the path to Marxism.
Rest well!
When Wikipedia admirably avoids theorizing on its own but depends on papal encyclicals such as Evangelium Vitae and Veritatis Splendor, the view is that of Blessed Pope John Paul II in his capacity as Supreme Pontiff and successor of Peter and not that of J. Random Wikipedia editorial hack. This is the equivalent of providing footnotes to back up your college research papers.
Also, understandably, I did not see your evidence that the GOP has long been in decline because of the moral relativism of the pro-abort, pro-faggotry, gun grabbing, ohhh soooooo genteelly "moderate GOP-E, culminating in the impending nomination of Mittler.
Thanks for playing, sort of!
#205: Paragraph 3, Sentence 1:
“....your evidence that the GOP has NOT been in decline...”
All I see here is someone snootily hanging any old phrases together at random, after having begun to pontificate from the Wikipedia. This is called something like shooting in the dark then whatever you hit call it the target.
Then see your optometrist.
When called on a snoot, double down.
