Outside of my family I don’t feel I have the right to tell others they can’t just as I wouldn’t want them to tell me I should.

My life and the life of my family is ours just as their life is theirs. I don’t cross that line.


I've been thinking lately that is is conservative's respect for others to have their own opinions that has gotten us where we are. Liberals have no problem with crossing that line, telling others how to think and act. We behave with class and dignity - but all most people hear is liberals, because they are unrelentingly arrogant in voicing their opinions.

I'm not sure what the solution is. Becoming like them isn't quite the answer.

I hope the Republican Party suspends her registration, and kicks her out.

>I wouldn't really be so sure RR had a choice, as you implied.
"Maybe not."

Probably not. :^)

"But the GOP elite, regaining control away from it's voters was a disaster for all of us."

A *disaster*?
If a disaster's in fact what's happened, my friend.
It's the *new* world order, don'tcha know. LOL
And the first talk of "New World Order" ad naseum was from none other than Bush Sr, remember.

The GOPer "elite" take orders, we just don't want to believe our own eyes when we see said orders carried out. Maybe. ~eh? LOL

"I am at a point that I am against anyone from the Ivy League. But I may be too late, as the Ivy League seems to control the thoughts of our youth all across the country."

HA!!
I hear ya. Despise the ingrates of NYCity, the sewer Hollyweird's become, San Fran for several reasons. Seattle...the latte drinking dweebs. IL for their *contribution* to the body politic. MI...because it's MI and oh!! WI, my home state. Lousy political climate to match its weather.

In fact y'know what, I'm at the point I dislike anything, except me. Of course. LOL
Is that a disaster, or deliberate?
You see, I used to be a fairly nice fella. ;^)

I hear where you're coming from, just have a notion you're not focusing the righteous anger where it's deserved. The GOP, like the other side, is I suspect as much a beard as their boy in the WH. Kind of a *club*, y'know?

Looked at that way at least the malaise makes *some* sense.

“I’m staying republican until after the primaries”

I am with you.

At one point, when I was young, I was a registered Democrat (college years). As I got older, I registered as an independent. Eventually, I registered as a Republican. Now, I going to register again as an independent.

I don’t ever see myself registering as a Democrat again.

Is it wrong for me to hope she chokes on some food and dies? I mean, it’s not something I’d pray for or anything. Just...I might LOL a bit if it happened.

I knew about it long before Sarah jumped in. I’m glad she endorsed him, because I think it’s very important that we all go on the record to support Conservative ideals.

The fact is that people in New York already knew the score. So while Sarah’s support was nice for the reasons mentioned, I don’t see her endorsement as quite as important as you and others seem to.

Do you support making all of those things a matter for prohibition? If not, how is that different from the libertarians? If so, how are these Prohibitions going to promote smaller government?

Vices are wrong and cause problems, prohibitions are worse.

They will not side with the Christian social conservatives for any reason, they’ll jump ship and join the rat party first.

If Christian social conservatives come out as advocating for expanding the scope of government beyond it's Constitutional barricades, then yeah.

If not, then our goals are the same. Limited government, individual liberty, and personal responsibility.

If the goal is a nanny state for my own good government, forget it.

And I must clarify - no person who believes in anything resembling small or big ‘L’ libertarianism would ever join this Rat party.

This is not a party of small government, nor individualism. Neither is the Big Tent GOP.

"I really hope this is a joke!"

I'm really glad it is not a joke. Conservatives are so vindicated, and the Republican party is now faced with a choice: Conservativism or go the way of the dinosaur. We are winning. This is wonderful news. IN YOUR FACE, RINOS!!!!

Will a switch to “I” keep you out of the 2010 primaries where your vote would have more weight than in a general election? Democratic leaders would be glad to know that you are going “I”.

libertarians not unlike Rinos (liberals/libertarians in republican clothing) and leftists all enthusiastically support dope legalization, pornography, perversion, abortion, flag burning/desecration, that is a fact. libertarians just support it in the name of "liberty" like that's a legitimate excuse.

And who defines "perversion"? Oh wait, in a nanny state, the Government defines what constitutes "perversion."

The typical approach of a short-sighted, outcome-based social conservative (and this is not meant to construe that all social conservatives are short-sighted and outcome-based) is to just turn over the keys to the Government. The problem is that the Government is not always guaranteed to be controlled by social conservatives, but occasionally falls into the hands of social liberals, who then proceed to commit all sorts of acts of "perversion" whilst social conservatives wail and moan and gnash their teeth.

If someone wants to watch pornography or smoke pot in their basement, that's their own judgement call, so long as they don't come running to me to pay for any unintended consequences of their lifestyle choices. Note very well that I am not endorsing the use of pornography or marijuana here but am simply endorsing the right of the individual to make the choice for himself, so long as he or she also accepts personal responsibility for any unintended consequences to himself or herself stemming from said choices.

If so, how are these Prohibitions going to promote smaller government?

They won't, and they don't.

Effective and efficient enforcement of "prohibitions" inherently requires a large, powerful, centralized, highly-intrusive government. In other words: a "nanny state" or a "brother's keeper" state.
