If those were the principles of the GOP, yes it might help tremendously.

Wouldn’t it? Therein lies the problem with this party. They are incapable of identifying the root cause of their problem and applying the correct solution. Perhaps because, at their core, they no more believe in these principles than the Democrats do. They are nanny staters of a different stripe.

This is why I no longer have a party affiliation. I hope that some of this new guard among the GOP will start to re-establish those principles. Otherwise the party is going the way of the Whigs.

You’re going to be surprised by the family values of the first generation to come from primarily broken homes, in a good way.

I hope you’re right. Congratulations on your marriage!

In what ways do you feel this isn’t a free country?

ernesto on December 2, 2012 at 11:55 AM

ROFLMAO! Obamacare, over-taxation, over-regulation, violations of the Constitution, environmental takings of my property, government mandates, restrictions on the practice of my religion, and “redistribution”, to name some off the top of my head. I’m sure others here can elaborate and pile on.

Social Security has accomplished its mission. To destroy the family. Those who promoted it had that one goal in mind in creating it. Every one who voted for it and all the voters who refused to get rid of it over the years, congratulations on being useful idiot selfish evil scum. They played you like morons, and you even surprised them with your enthusiasm to prove them right.

Without those other policies, all the social conservatism in the world still leaves you with an unfree country.

Perhaps the GOP should start trying to appeal to people — singles, Hispanics, Martians, etc. — on the basis of those broader principles of liberty and freedom.

but without other conservative policies riding its coattails.

::sigh:: Not even my getting married will stop you, huh? Yes, she knows!

And another thing. I happen to know people who are married and have children and are religious and get a government salary/pension and are active Democrats, and they still rely on their not-so-rich Republican neighbor for handouts.

Sure Ernie. So does your “wife” know you do or did guys?

My gut tells me you lied.
