We've seen the Demoncrat party slide deep into Communist doctrine, and the Redpublican party has drifted further left with each passing year. My party has deserted true GOP conservative values, but where else is there for us to go?
I've been encouraged to find here a group of people who still cling with me to the real Grand Old Party, not the neo-party it has evolved into.
As FReepers it is our calling to restore the party to conservatism once again; to champion the original intent of our beloved Constitution. That is why I've changed my tagline since the election.
May God be with us all, for though there are far greater perils on the horizon than Arlen Specter, or where our fruit comes from, we must win each fight one at a time.
By way of example, my wife was an "old" Democrat, Truman, J F Kennedy and to some degree Zell Miller Democrat. But partial birth abortion is a barbaric practice that turns her stomach as does using abortion as a matter of birth control. She (white) marched for civil rights and did time in a Mississippi jail; unlike todays "civil rights" agitators who self aggrandize themselves for political and monetary reasons. But because the Democratic Party left her, I convinced her to vote BUSH, here in FL, in 2K. She was wowed that her vote counted!
We both agree that the Dems are closer to the Communist position of the 1960s and the Republicans are like the Democrats of old. She is happy, but I need a Conservative Party to come out in the middle.
