The modern American Conservatism that is the heart of the GOP has been about much more than green eyeshades. It has been build first on the essential belief in freedom and limited Government, and that property rights, low taxation and freedom are not just essential for proseperity but are rights of man; informed by the view that a people cannot long be free if they are not virtuous, and so belives in a Government that support family and moral values and doesnt undermine it; and believes in families and communities and voluntary organizations and groups, the 'little platoons' that make America the best nation on earth. It has been summed up as - faith, family and freedom. Knock a leg off and the chair falls down.

This is another example of where the Realgous Zealots have taken the core values of the GOP and the values have made America the great country that it is;

belief in freedom and limited Government, and that property rights, low taxation and freedom are not just essential for proseperity but are rights of man;

and have used it to promote their own warped religous agenda;

informed by the view that a people cannot long be free if they are not virtuous, and so belives in a Government that support family and moral values and doesnt undermine it;

No matter how you try to frighten and confuse people, America isn't going to come to an end if homosexuals get married or if women have the right to choose abortion.

Freedom means people being able to live their own lives without having to get the approval of a Theocrat.

It's time for the core of the GOP to kick out the Religous Zealot Hijackers before they crash America into the ground.

Mrs Grundy, Go sell your sack of horse$hit to someone else, I'm not buying.

The object of an election is to win a majority of the votes. This usually involves winning the hearts and minds of the electorate.

What 'warped religious agenda' do you keep talking about? Stopping people from killing unborn humans???

You sound like Howeird Dean on drugs - calm down and explain youself. Protecting unborn human beings by regulating abortion is a THEOCRACY??? Are you SERIOUS???

Hey dude, could you please tell me where I can go find my local Theocrat? I've never heard of them. But I can point to the local IRS building that takes a huge chunk of my income and DOES have an effect on the way I live my life.

Please point out to me where ANY politician has shrunk the spending of the government, other than in National Defense.

You know, if the government was a whole lot smaller, there woulnd't be any money to pay those Theocrats you fear. But I don't see any politician saying "shrink the government" since the 80's when that Right-wing Christian whacko Reagan was in office.

[MichiganConservative]

what warped religious agenda? Kicking prayer out of schools, even if it is a private, voluntary prayer among students?

Disallowing children to talk amongst themselves about Jesus while encouraging them to practice Islam for a month?

Abusing the 14th amendment to force federal Constitutional restrictions onto the states?

Fighting for child-rape?

Fighting for laws that say your daughter doesn't have to get your consent to get an abortion, even though she does to get an ear piercing?

Oh, yeah, that's the ACLU.

Darned right! The right to cut heads off babies -- ain't that what America is all about?
