First and foremost, until IDs are required at the polls, election results are a different animal than what "most Americans" support or desire. That fundamental sails above the guy; he buys the "America voted for this!" assumption 100 percent and proceeds to blunder from there. America didn't "vote for this." "This" cheated to get where it is, and it's why we're where we're at. This is what happens when a minority attempts to force its will on a majority.
It's not about "gay rights." It's about respecting the rights of free, moral Americans to refuse to play ball with a governmen-enforced moral code that would force adoption agencies, on moral grounds, to accommodate gay couples seeking to have their own "families." Adoption agencies have the right to say, "I'll pass, go find another agency. This child will go to a heterosexual home." Gay "rights" removes that right in the name of morality! Talk about moral tyranny. If there are adoption agencies that are willing to consider gay men as parents for the kids entrusted to them -- let them find each other, see how far they will get. This is a free and moral America, and "Republicans" are the same as Democrats when it comes to watching the ball sail over their heads with regard to identifying the real situation. It's just one example. Wasn't it Rove who said "demography is destiny"? The truth is that demography is pretense. Totally based on appearances. Demography is pretence. Morality is destiny.
Morality is letting moral people be free to produce their own food and energy and goods. Tyranny -- from Federal guidlines to health and safety regs to labor law to environmental impact to zoning and taxes -- tyranny shackles and hobbles and enslaves Americans under all kinds of pretences, from moral to scientific. This tyranny was "elected" by pretend Americans; most of our countrymen, especially the ones who are truly legit voters in that they work and pay taxes, hate it and reject it.
The reason there is such a demand for stuff made in China, the reason it costs $100 to fill your truck with gas, the reason food will soon go the same way (witness regulating out of business America's 400-year-old East Coast fishing industry). Government has made it illegal for honest, productive Americans to produce their own goods, food, and energy. It's that simple. Regulations from every direction squelch and pinch and prune and destroy enterprise and innovation. Repubicans are as much cogwork in the machinery that kills Americans' private rights to produce food, energy, and whatever else they want, as are the Democrats. Romney envisioned ObamaCare and got its first version enacted in Massachusetts!
The Republican party is on the same team as the Democrats.
You just made great points and built a strong case for wholesale fundamental changes in the party. And I agree.
