The rise of the Internet spelled doom for religious conservatism. With more information to refer to, fewer and fewer people will respond to the old fear-based doctrines. The same syndrome will ultimately destroy Islam, as the Internet-carried vision of Dubai will prove far more alluring than the vision of the Wahhabists. 9/11 was their high-water mark.

If the GOP continues to ignore its small-government roots and focus so much of its platform on religious conservatives, it will be fighting yesterday's political campaign. The Democrats are getting a lot of votes from people who ought to be recoiling from their irresposible spending and fantasy/fact confusion in utter disgust...but the Republicans aren't giving them any real alternative.

And what old fear-based doctrines would those be? Please be much more specific in the details of the specific doctrines you are referring to.

I hope the doctrines you oppose are not the the ones that held the immoral left in check for almost four hundred years in this country?

The reckless immorality of the nineteen sixties is not something to be proud of.

That movement was not a Republican movement, it certainly was not a consertive movement and it stood in opposition to the entire history of the American law, morality and culture.

A combination of an artificially godless, Big-Government public school monopoly, fifty years of secular leftist news media and fifty years of filth from the leftist entertainment industry have worked in combination to condition our culture into the irresponsibility and immorality revolution you see today. The same destructive anti-American garbage launched by the pro-filth leftists in the nineteen sixties has eaten at the heart of our country like a cancer. As government has gotten larger and larger, the courts have been used by the left to create the new immoral culture, replacing the one American's loved and the reprobates hated.

An incredible assumption you've made here. Actually, a number of them. 1) Religious conservatism is based upon ignorance. 2) Religious conservatism is based upon fear. 3) One cannot be religiously conservative and offer an alternative to Democrats.

Of course, none of them are based on anything other than supposition and anecdote. And are thus interesting, provocative and untrue.

There will never be a small government secular society. Never.

The reason the socialists spend so much time trying to destroy religious conservatism is that they know a secular society will always become a high tax, heavily regulated socialist nanny state. The near death of social conservatism in Europe has led to the socialist abomination known as the EU. The same thing will happen here.
