In America today, any politician who runs on the platform of the religious right will find it difficult to win a national election. In most states they will struggle to win a statewide one. Even if someone sneaks through and wins office they will be totally ineffective since they will be isolated, marginalized and ignored. Face it, conservatives have lost the gay rights and abortion wars. The world changes. It is time to move on. There are more important battles to fight.
If anyone wants to have a vote in restoring conservative values to America, they must vote for the candidate that stands for limited government, individual rights, fair justice, personal responsibility, free markets, private enterprise, maintenance of a strong national security - and personal choice regarding gay rights and abortion. Today a vote for a politician who panders to the religious right is effectively a vote for the most liberal candidate in the race. So is refusing to vote at all because the most conservative candidate is not conservative enough. Hopefully it won't take those who want to preserve a strong and prosperous America many more lost elections to figure this out.
Gay rights and women's rights to abortions are no longer major issues. Private enterprise versus government control of the economy is a major issue. Free choice versus government determined allocation of goods and services is a major issue. Redistribution of income versus rewarding innovation and productivity is a major issue. Maintaining strong national security versus capitulating to adversaries is a major issue. Government control of the distribution of information versus censorship is a major issue. Teaching our children the true history of the United States versus indoctrinating them with politically correct bullshit is a major issue.
The leadership of the Democratic Party today is intentionally destroying what took our forefathers over 200 years to build. The majority of Americans don't want that to happen. I believe the Republican party best represents the political beliefs of most Americans, but they have an anchor attached to their ankles dragging them down into irrelevance. The religious right needs to wake up and get with the program or form their own self-serving, insignificant private club. The stakes are too high to remain chained to the irrelevant. We must preserve the United States of America and what we mean to ourselves and the rest of the world - freedom, justice, security and prosperity.
The Democratic Party is controlled by ideological extremists that are highly successful in hoodwinking the voting public into thinking they are moderate. A segment of the Republican Party is also controlled by extremists, and they are alienating a substantial portion of the voting public. Perhaps it is time for the moderates in the Republican Party to form a new party that represents the true center of American politics. That is where most voters exist. Otherwise, we will end up known as the generation responsible for destroying what our prior generations built, and our children and grandchildren will justifiably never forgive us.
