Cleaning out the Republican Party

[Claud]

We should not be the JUDGE of MORALITY, who cares if two gays are living together. If you don't like it - don't do it!!! It does NOT affect my MARRIAGE to my wife!!

See, that's just wrong and here's why.

"We are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights."

Rights come from God. Not the state. We have marriage rights not because the Constitution says we do but because GOD says we do. Whether you agree with that position is immaterial....because *that is the position of the Founding Fathers*. That is the principle on which the law of the United States flows.

You are, in essence by your support of gay marriage, saying that the STATE can decide that two men have a "right" to marry. And hell, if they can decide that, then a state can decide that Jewish folks have to live in ghettos, or that people are not entitled to their own property.

Governments are instituted among men to *protect* rights already granted, not to invent them out of who cloth. Once you deny that, you side with Fascism and Communism against your own Constitution. And that is why gay "marriage" MUST be opposed for the Republic to endure.

Clearly, more than half the country doesn’t give a damn about the unborn, the military, or our national security.

I don't think that's a fair assessment: I think people just have a different opinion about what constitutes a good military or national security policy. Abortion is a wedge issue.

Republicans are not Conservatives, they're Traditionalists. Sometimes the two words are interchanged, but they do not have the same definition.

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, in a recent interview, identified what I think will be the most important dividing line in the upcoming debate over the future of the Right:

He said the economic crisis exposed the split in the Republican Party.

“We ran into the bailout. The bailout touched upon the larger discussion in the Republican Party,” he said. “It’s not the conservatives versus the moderates, that’s the rather cliched way of looking at it. What you really have are globalists versus traditionalists. Globalists tend to view America as an economy, not a country. The traditionalists tend to view it as a country — a very delicate microcosm, a collection of individuals with different hopes, dreams, aspirations.”
