As an individual I am pro-life, pro gun rights, strongly pro capitalist, pro family, religious and not too keen on gay marriage. My political views are largely conservative and I agree with everything in your post. But in the last few years I’m feeling more and more like the Republican party is leaving ME.
Every election cycle Republicans seem to get into this trap of having to debate their stance on Roe vs Wade, social programs like welfare and food stamps, previous administrations decisions and numerous other distractions.
I’m finding myself to be more aligned with the Libertarian party which advocates pretty much everything in your post. While I don’t agree with everything in their platform, I believe freedom and smaller government comes before anything else. If the Republican party would stay away from the issues that are unsolvable within the time frame of one or two administrations and avoid this trap that is set during every election cycle most Libertarians, Constitutionalists, the Tea Party and others would get on board with the Republican party.
Conservatives need to get rid of all these two faced RINO’s and put Republicans in office that can emphasize to people how many of the freedoms they have lost under a government that has run amok with federal agencies, regulations and other things that are destroying the American way of life. The real injustices going on are obvious. Quit wasting time on issues that just keep going around in circles and give the edge to these socialists trying to destroy our country.
Sorry for the rant. Hope I don’t get banned.
