Ok this is a rant, but I am very worried about the future of the US and of the resulting world we live in!pink elephant please note it isn’t just the fact that there is a separation of church and state, even the French have that! (God help them) What works in the US is the counterbalanced separtion of state and church. The wrecked party isn’t the fault of christian conservatives anymore than it is purely the fault of any group. I think the biggest fault comes from people being so sure that they personally, have all of the truth innate.
Cedarford makes some really good points, you make other very good points, but one thing I think that Americans has forgotten is how important the ground rules are for running the country, ie the constitution. Any reform is painful, and if the reform touches your person gain (campaign reform) you are likely to recoil from it. Being a conservative means when you get burned you get burned, however right now I think the points made by Senator Hatch are relevent to the current election, and I am sorry, Obama and the modern democratics scare me…so even of you think the republicans deserve the losses, I think we’d all better vote for them, and then continue pushing these issues about the RINOs while the iron is till hot ( the fear of almost losing is still there)
