How the right finally lost it

"Are we led by priests or are we led by rational politicians?" 

I am an old Republican. I am religious, yet not a fanatic. I am a free-marketer; yet, I believe in the role of the government as a fair evenhanded referee. I am socially conservative; yet, I believe that my lesbian niece and my gay grandchild should have the full protection of the law and live as free Americans enjoying every aspect of our society with no prejudices and/or restrictions. Nowadays, my political and socio-economic profile would make me a Marxist, not a Republican.

Discussion
  • A very smart post, and Currey's correct about the damage that the Glenn Becks do to the Republican Party. One thing I can't figure out, however, is his allegiance to Richard Nixon, the most corrupt president of modern times.
