America is an increasingly liberal country. I noticed it started in the early 1990s probably is response to the 1990-91 recession which, unlike previous recessions, hit white collar workers hardest. But I think here it is:
1. People dont remember liberalism, we really havent had it since 1980. We will probably be forced to go thru a decade or so of real liberal policies, that will result in a poorer weaker america circa 1980.
2. Conservatives have stopped articulating conservatism
Periodically thru american history, the country has experienced periods where the country moved sharply leftward. The Progressive Era, New Deal, Great Society. It seems we are on the threshold of another era of liberalism.
Frankly, if the GOP candidate is going to lose no matter who they are, it might as well be a RINO.
Trouble is, I don't think we're going to survive the next liberal swing, at least not as the Republic we know. If it's Hillary! in '08 (likely), we'll probably get blown up or taken over by a hostile power or perhaps radical Islam. If it's Obamalamadingdong, there will probably be a domestic revolt, albeit of the Jacobin variety.
If you support and promote candidates like Rudy Giuliani to be the next POTUS, that is exactly what you're gonna get. I'm for telling liberalism to go take a hike and I'm for telling liberals, whether they be Democrat or Republican, you won't be getting my vote. Not now, not ever.
If we are on the verge of a new era of liberalism in American politics, my vote will not be part of the destruction of America to those ends. I'll stick with voting for the best conservative candidate available. Someone who supports and promotes traditional American values of mainstream Constitutional conservatism.
