Mitch Daniels Reveals an Inconvenient Truth about the Right

American Thinker ^ | 06/14/2010 | John Guardiano

[Lancey Howard]

Daniels is the perfect audio-visual aid for “The Peter Principle”.
Governor of Indiana - - that’s the end of the line for Daniels. Weakness and cowardice eventually surfaces.

[Lancey Howard]

I’ve argued you can’t ignore any of the legs of Conservatism. Focus exclusively on the social end and the economy can suffer, focus on the economy exclusively and the soul suffers. A little effort and you can cover both, but ignoring one or the other and your Conservative credentials become suspect.

That's well stated. "Cultural" issues are indelibly intertwined with "economic" issues. You can't just separate them and take the coward's way out by focusing solely on the easy stuff ("the economy, stupid") the way Daniels wants to do.

[Chi-townChief]

So how can you be an economic conservtaive without being a social conservative??? It goes hand in hand.

[liberalism is suicide]

How long will economic livelihood stand while the moral and cultural foundations of our civilization are rotting away? We must fight on *all* fronts.

[mewzilla]

Mitch Daniels is still denying one of Indiana’s Congressional districts representation in the House....

[Huck]

Then the culture war is a joke.

I hope Daniels is slapped around by true conservatives over this until he cries like a girl.

[fwdude]

Because the fantasy of homosexual “marriage” and affirmative action will ratchet us irrevocably to the left. It almost can’t be undone.

[GlockThe Vote]

I am in agreement that those should not be considered, however, if we dont deal with the cap & trade, obamacare, tax hikes, etc, RIGHT NOW, gay marriage will be the last thing on our minds as we scrounge for food and bare necessities ala North Korea.

[fwdude]

How do you "deal" with these things other than pounding on your representatives not to do it? We can fight this way on many fronts at once. We can donate to advocates for conservative values at once.

All of the agenda items of the left are destructive - yes, even same-sex "marriage" and the homosexualization of the military.

[GlockThe Vote]

There are so many crazy things going on lately.

These are truly bad times. Cloward & Piven, Saul Alinsky, marxism, communism, all piled up.

I think a lot of us are uptight lately and take it out on each other when really we are on the same team here.

I personally have never ever seen such an assault on this nation from all angles like this communist junta is pursing.

Same here. They've been preparing for this moment for decades, and now they're making their move to ram this country hard left.
