To completely disregard the rights of your fellow humans and to blatantly violate the Constitution which guarantees the pursuit of happiness and equal treatment under the law, to mandate and control the personal lives of others, is not only un-American, it is fascist in its insanity.

You are about as un American as they come.

“No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.”
~Thomas Jefferson

“Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law,’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”

~Thomas Jefferson-

“That the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of the history of the whole world”
~John Adams

Conservative is to err on the side of equality over a religious theocracy taking hold, by the founders of our great nation. The reason our nation is great is because it is founded on reason over religion

In my view, the GOP hasn’t emphasized social issues in an election since 2004, and McCain was hardly the SoCon standard bearer.

That may be because so many are on the government gravy train directly or indirectly. From the social worker to the immigrant resettlement counselor to the scientist sucking in the government grants, to the lawyers dependent on more and more regulations being issued. Milan Djilas’s new class , right here in river city.

Yes a whole new generation of brainwashed white kids, identity politics ethnic kids are here, thanks to the 60s marxist revolution… judging by your post they aren’t too bright.

But it is good to see that the Democrats can be as stupid as the Republicans. Rahm Emanuel has already been named Obama’s chief of staff. Emanuel, and Israeli-American dual national, chose to serve in the Israeli Army rather than the American one during Desert Storm. He is pro-war and while chairman of the House Democratic Caucus he routinely denied any funding or support for candidates who were too critical of Iraq or soft on going after Iran. Pro-war Dems were carefully nurtured and given funding and organizational support. How this squares with a Democratic party base that would like to see American soldiers leave Iraq soonest and not get into any new entanglement is hard to figure.

I am with you on the issues, but I just don’t have the same level of reaction.

Social conservatives don’t bother me because they really do not affect my life. Evolution will survive. Abortion will be legal in most places. Gays can marry in all but name.

Now, the war was something that moved me away from the Republican party – spending and death bother me. And the bailout sealed the deal.

But social conservatives just amuse me.

It was the night after the election and all across the nation,
Not a creature was stirring (except for those on welfare and the middle class—BOTH full of expectation)
The campaign promises and rhetoric had been placed in each speech with care,
And damn, don’t you know it, the adulation of the crowds had also been there!

The young voters were nestled in their beds,
While visions of a Rock Star danced in their heads.
And those wanting “change,” not having used their thinking caps,
Kicked up their heels and settled in for post-election naps.

When out of the Nation’s Capitol there arose such a clatter,
More than just the conservatives rose to see what was the matter.
Away to Fox “Morning” News (not ABC CBS or NBC) I flew like a flash,
Turned on the Cable and watched the stock market–once again–threaten to crash.

The glean in the eyes of Oprah and the tears of Jessie Jackson,
Gave hidden meaning to all of the moderate political posturing and action,
And what on Washington Avenue to my wondering eye should appear,
But a tricked-out Cadillac with eight questionable characters–all with a leer.

With a young charismatic driver, who filled me trauma,
I knew in a moment it must be President Obama.
More rapid than suicide bombers, his riders they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

“On Pelosi! now Reid! now, Biden and Oh yes! all my forgotten friends of the night!
On Richard Daley! on Ayers! on Resko, and yes, even Rev Wright!
To the top of the Senate! To the top of the House!
Now Daschle away, Tom Daschle–hey! Democrats for all!”

As laundered 25 dollar contributions before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with higher taxation, and mount to the sky.
So up to the Washington and Lincoln Monuments they flew,
With a tricked-out caddy full of radical socialist agenda, and President Obama too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard in the Supreme Court,
The prancing and pawing of potential judges of every liberal sort.
As I heard the Fox headlines and was turning around,
Into the Oval Office came President Obama with a bound.

He was dressed in Saks Fifth Ave from head to foot,
But his ethics and political record was all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of hollow rhetoric he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a campaign-promise peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes–how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His charisma was like roses, his oratory like a cherry!
His shortness of stature was smug as a bow,
And the depth of his arrogance; finally out for all to know.

The stuff America had been “smokin” he held in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
With devilish grin and a newly-patriotic First Lady by his side,
He knew that the voters had been taken for a ride.

He had taken illegal campaign contributions, given millions to voter fraud,
It was certainly no wonder that extremists like Ayers would happen to laud!
But that winning smile and a twist of his head,
Once again he assured the masses they had NOTHING to dread!

He spoke no more lofty speeches, but went straight to his work,
and filled American with hand outs, and then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up to change the State of the Union he rose!

He sprang to his Commander in Chief role, gave his congressional majority a whistle,
and away from Iraq, America’s Finest flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, as he continued to legislate,
Welcome to my world, and the next four years–you’ll soon learn to hate.

- THE END

“This race perfectly reflects the shift of professional whites into the Democratic party. Moderate Republicans have been punished for the mistakes of conservatives. In fact almost all moderates–office-holders and voters– are Democrats.”

“Overall social conservatism had a better evening than Republicans, though much of the blame for Republican defeat will be, implausibly, laid at their feet.”

As one of those moderates, I can tell you that the reason I voted a straight D ticket for the first time ever was the social conservatives. If the Rs want to recover, they need to come to terms with the social conservatives. There isn’t a political majority there and if the litmus test issues prevail, the Rs will be a minority for a very long time.

From Tony Blankley (hardly such a reflective conservative throughout the Bush years): http://www.creators.com/opinion/tony-blankley.html

“As a force in electoral politics in any given season, conservatism, like all ideas and causes, is hostage to the effectiveness of the party that carries its banner, the candidates and leaders who articulate its principles and programs, and the engagement and spirit of the people who are its natural adherents …Moreover, the Republican Party, our reluctant champion, naturally (if, in a few instances, unfairly) was held to account for two unpopular wars, manifest corruption and managerial incompetence, a collapsed housing market that resulted in a 20-50 percent crash in the home values for most Americans, and a financial crisis that threatens world prosperity and has reduced the value of the average American’s stock portfolio by about 40 percent.”
