Are there really such things as “conservative hispanic Catholics?” Aren’t all Reagan Democrats dead?

You can’t legislate your culture’s morality into heaven...but you can sure fight to retain your Constitutionally provided liberty.

Okay, let the GOP keep pushing candidates like Romney, who helped facilitate fag-marriage in his state. He didn’t get my vote. First GOP candidate of any office, big or small, to not get my vote in my entire adult life. Sure, put up more candidates like that, so I can leave the ballots blank again. Won’t bother me in the least.

The fact is that the attack on the family will destroy our country if we allow it to fester. The libs will never turn that around No country can prosper who does not have the family at its center.

We can realize the enemy and fight better but quitting is not the answer

But thank you for playing, Lou.

Low taxes and less spending in Sodom and Gomorrah is not my idea of a conservative victory

Maybe Lou counts it as a national security and economic issue.

Well, you can legislate A morality. In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court “legislated” the morality of Harry Blackmun et al. and imposed it on all the state governments and the peoples of the several states.

R v. W was obviously a state’s rights issue and thereby a diminution of liberty when decided at the federal level.

It's Democrats and their lapdogs in the media that bring up social issues. When the Republican responds, the Dems and press scream that Republicans are too obsessed with social issues, takes the Republican's response out of context, says that Republicans want to peep in people's bedrooms and wage war on women's "reproductive rights", the GOP establishment calls for the Republican to get out of the race, the Republican candidate apologizes profusely and says he has gay friends and has compassion for single mothers and wants to shovel more money into more programs, the conservative base stays home, and the Democrat wins.

That, my friends, is how the social issue game was played in 2012 and will expand nationally in 2014.

Forget the "social issues." The GOPe want to legalize 30 million illegals and save Obamacare.

F that.

No it wasn't. No government has any legitimate right to legislate or adjudicate against the unalienable right to life. They simply have a duty to defend it. That's why governments exist. It is their raison d'etre, whether they're at the federal or state level.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Don't you have to support something before you can "abandon" it?
