G Alton et. al.: Social conservatism is here to stay, or else the republican party dies. Make no mistake, social conservatives consider our issues non-negotiable. Anyone who does not support our beliefs doesn’t get our votes. Period. If you can’t handle that, good riddance, because we don’t want you in our party. If you kick us out of our own party, we’ll just have to send the Republicans the way of the Whigs and build up our own party in its place. Social conservatism is about choosing life over death, freedom over slavery, and the rights of the weak over the power of the strong. Sounds libertarian to me, or should murderers be permitted to live freely as they please?
