I am a Republican, a conservative Republican. I believe in traditional proven social institutions, limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, a strong military, and capitalism. Government should provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their goals.
What do Democrats believe in? The exact opposite with a major emphasis based on the need to not be a Republican.
I'm sure there are many nice Democrats, people you can have lunch with or...wait, let me rephrase. I'm sure there are some nice Democrats...Democrats you can have lunch with or make small talk. But, the problem is most of the congenial, reasonable Democrats, especially in government positions, are long gone, leaving the remaining older, baby-boomer, sensible, grass roots Democrat voters alone in the wilderness, hanging on to the past, reminiscing of John Kennedy and Camelot. It was indeed one brief shining moment.
