Liberals pushing secular socialist ideals

When did Life, Liberty and Freedom Become an extreme Right-Wing Idea



So-called "right-wing conservatives" (the foundational base of the Republican Party) are prepared to grant Republican moderates who hijacked their party, their 2008 election wish.

You want a liberal? - We'll give you one! Almost every political pundit in America is asking if hard-headed "Christian conservatives" are really prepared to defect from their Republican Party in '08 if they can't get a conservative nominee from the RNC. But my question is: when did respect for the "unalienable" right to Life, Liberty and Freedom, become an extreme right-wing ideal, held dear only by "Christian conservatives?" Who told RINOs that Life, Liberty and Freedom are extreme ideas? Who told moderate Republicans that they belong to a secular socialist party? America already has a liberal party pushing secular socialist ideals in America. We don't need two. Who is offering the nation a conservative alternative? If not the Republican Party, then there is no need for the Republican Party. And since when is the conservative "base" (foundation) of the Republican Party, just some "extreme wing" of the party? The 2008 message coming from the conservative base is clear. If RINOs insist upon having a liberal in the White House again in '08, they will get one, Hillary Clinton. This is not a religious statement. It's a political question... Why waste time on another self-styled conservative fraud, too compassionate (spineless) towards the onslaught of leftist ideas, when we can have the real deal socialist in Hillary Clinton? If RINOs want a liberal, they're about to get one. The Republican Party is the Conservative Party, or it's no party at all If the Republican Party won't run conservative candidates, why would they expect to get the support of conservative voters who rightfully see it as only an extension of the DNC today? Democrats have been selling socialism, secularism, an anti-American respect for death not life, a greater communal good instead of individual liberty and the right to rob the productive for benefit of the non-productive since FDR. There is nothing "conservative" about this agenda. There's nothing American about it either... So why would conservative voters support any Republican candidate that is selling the same things? Why do moderate Republicans, social liberals, expect the conservative base of the party to unite with the moderate wing, behind another RINO candidate, rather than uniting behind a conservative candidate themselves, for a change? To be "Conservative" is to be American Not so long ago, the "unalienable" rights to Life, Liberty and Happiness established in our founding documents, were just American ideals supported by nearly every American as the foundational principles of our country. These were not Republican ideals, or even conservative ideas, let alone extreme right-wing ideas. They were American ideas. But today, people who stand firmly on these principles are targeted as "religious fanatics" or so-called "social conservatives." All they really are is plain ole pro-American conservatives. The rhetorical implication is that only right-wing religious extremists, not so lovingly labeled "Evangelical Christian theocrats," believe in, support or defend these foundational ideals today. But these are not religious notions, they are foundational American principles, or at least they were when the founders set our nation upon this corner stone a little more than 200 years ago. Social liberals, both Democrat and Republican, aim to saddle those who still believe in these principles, with the label "right-wing religious extremist." Why? For what purpose and on what basis? Have they never read our founding documents? Lessons not yet learned Despite all the past failures of RINO candidates, moderates insist once again that conservatives support another RINO candidate. Why? Conservatives helped elect RINO Bush Sr. in 1988, on the coat tails of Ronald Reagan. But Bush Sr. departed from the base of his party in his first term and lost re-election to Bill Clinton in 1992. The RNC lost again in 1996, by running another social liberal that offered no real alternative to liberal Bill Clinton. Bush Jr. beat Al Gore in 2000 despite the fact that he lost the popular election by a half million voters. The events of 9/11/01 saved his re-election in 2004. But he squandered his political capital on leftist appeasement policies soon after and lost both houses of congress in 2006. Now in 2008, RINOs are once again begging the conservative base of their party to unite behind yet another RINO candidate, be it Giuliani or Romney, both of whom are selling the same secular socialism, right to kill and attack on the family unit that Democratic Socialists are selling. Yet they seem shocked that conservatives are not willing to follow them into the secular socialist abyss again. How? Why moderates want another RINO Simply stated, some so-called moderates want another RINO candidate because they too are social liberals, just like most Democrats are today. They believe in and support a certain degree of secular socialism and are willing to negotiate the value of Life, Liberty and Freedom, for a greater communal good, just like today's Democrats. Other moderates want another RINO candidate because they are convinced that only a liberal Republican can defeat a socialist Democrat in any national election today. They believe that to defeat the vote pandering of the left, they must do some pandering of their own. However, the only time Republicans have run on conservative principles since Reagan was in 1994, when the ultra-conservative Gingrich Contract with America swept Republicans into control of both houses of congress for the first time in 40 years. Republicans ran on ultra-conservative values and won a landslide victory across the nation that had not happened in 40 years, and has not happened again since. That's because after winning control of congress, conservative mastermind Gingrich left office, leaving behind a bunch of spineless moderate Republicans who returned to their appeasement policies towards the left. By 2006, conservative voters had had enough. The RINO issue of choice -- National Security If you ask any RINO why a conservative should support another RINO candidate, their answer will be national security, but a much more accurate term for it is political expediency. In the mind of the average RINO, conservatives should fear a Democrat President who will indeed be weaker on issues involving the current War on Terror and national security. Democrats have a long established history of being spineless in the face of conflict. But RINOs are overlooking some pretty disturbing facts in this regard and conservatives are taking note. One can not be strong on national security without being very strong on border security. This is a HUGE Bush failure, and McCain, Giuliani and Romney all share this weakness with Bush. One cannot cut social spending while expanding liberal social policies that cause social spending. Again, Bush, Giuliani, Romney and McCain all share this weakness. One can not pretend to revere individual liberty while selling socialism, even in the form of universal health care. One cannot talk about individual freedom or constitutional rights without first respecting our most fundamental "unalienable" right to life itself. Yet the three RNC "front-runners" fail to grasp these basic conservative ideals, which are based on reality. Now, Democrat voters don't seem to know any better and quite frankly, neither does the average moderate RINO voter. But conservative voters understand these founding principles very well and they are apparently the only Americans left willing to stand upon these bedrock principles today. This makes them "extreme" in their position. The 2008 Election I'm only 47, but I predict that George W. Bush will be the last RINO to unite the Republican vote in my lifetime. I can easily prove that America is still conservative on fundamental American principles, Life, Liberty and Happiness. With the exception of blue California, blue NY City and blue New England, the rest of the nation is very conservative, very family oriented, very morally conscious and very pissed off about what is happening to their nation, including within their own party. Very few are religious fanatics. But it isn't just religious zealots who support our founding principles; it is indeed most American voters. Given the chance to vote for these principles again, they will in huge numbers, just as they did in 1994 and 2004. But given another choice between leftist Democrat and leftist Republican, the best leftist will win by the largest popular minority, about 46-47 percent of the popular vote, just like in 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2006. If another RINO is nominated by the powers at the RNC, and the race becomes another race between liberal Republican and liberal Democrat, then the outcome is completely predictable and conservative voters are telling you so. Only a conservative candidate can defeat socialist Democrats in 2008, because only a conservative candidate will be able to unite the Republican vote in '08. If RINOs insist upon a liberal candidate in '08, they will get a very liberal President in '08. Hillary Clinton... RINOs, not conservatives, have a decision to make...
