I’m not a great fan of John McCain since he has not stated his economic policies clearly. He may be a mediocre president at best. However it is clear that Hillary and Obama intend to take this country over a cliff which will so damamge our country politically, economically, and diplomatically that we may not be able to recover for generations to come if we ever crawl out of our future third world status.
As a Christian who is deeply committed to the inspiration of the Bible and who also is deeply committed to economic and social conservatism, I used to hold Rush Limbaugh, James Dobson, and Ann Coulter in high regard. When these so called spokesmen and spokeswomen for the conservative movement begin to alienate people like me with their harsh rigid posturing, it shows how deep the rift in the conservative ranks is growing. The so called conservatives who demand that the rest of the “moderates” have to come woo them need to realize that by acting like spoiled children they are becoming completely marginalized from those who would normally be their allies and supporters.
It is rediculous for these sore heads to claim Ronald Regan’s mantle. I remember Ronald Reagan. He was a gentleman with grace, dignity and humor who would never resort to the childish temper tamtrums of his so called followers. In fact, I never recall Regan ever publically criticizing another Republican. When he criticized Democratics it was with a sense of good humor and graciousness. Unfortunately, the loud sounds comming from the so called conservatives today show none of the qualities which endeared Ronald Reagan to the country.
