You can argue that the marriage issue is about morality. We cannot dictate other's morality. In today's world, however, legal and moral are thought of as the same thing. That is why gays want to "marry" like everyone else--no civil unions, no letting the church decide, etc. They want to be considered normal and moral and being legal equals being these things to many people. Single women want freedom to be irresponsible if responsible means being the adult. Insurance pays for abortion and for contraception so women have no consequences to pregnancy like men have none. Women want to be as promiscuous as they consider men to be. If nature won't let them, science and insurance payments will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-75427335615919339552012-11-20T06:45:17.366-08:002012-11-20T06:45:17.366-08:00A basic problem is that too many people are told t...A basic problem is that too many people are told that the republicans are evil and too many people believe it. Republicans need to fight as dirty as the competition. McCain wanted to fight gentlemanly, and look what that got them. Romney tried to be a class act and same goes for him. <br /><br />This nice guy garbage is not pulling in votes, and if anything, is shunning certain voters. I don’t know how to win the presidency, but I can say, that the last two approaches didn’t work well. I only know that the republicans need to make changes without giving up on the things that matter the most. <br /><br />Now, if the conservative party was truly conservative on only the things that really mattered in running this country properly, and they still lost, then I would say “It’s Over” and the country can’t be saved. But I don’t believe we are not there yet. <br /><br />sdkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144897729994333372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-13837851006179041072012-11-20T06:40:13.106-08:002012-11-20T06:40:13.106-08:00@Alan:

Romney lost only by 400 000 votes in key states. Obama has split the country. Over 100 000 000 DIDN'T vote. That's the problem right there. Romney failed to fire the conservative base as he was too wishy-washy on conservative values. If he had come out and owned the message instead of playing catch-up he would have won. Too many conservatives didn't vote out of protest of what the GOP is pushing down their throats as candidates. It was Romney's 'turn' so he got the nod. I always said he comes across as plastic. He's a very nice guy, but nice doesn't win the race. He should have come out and produced his tax returns with a flourish and owned his wealth. He could have used his own personal journey as proof of the America Dream. Yet he ran far away, too ashamed to flash his wealth. All Obama had to do was smear him, to which he didn't retaliate. Your next candidate has to be what conservatives want - a true conservative. He needs to target what the GOP is - a white conservative party. Hispanics and blacks will NOT vote for the GOP, no matter how much more diverse they become. Single women voted for Obama because he's their Big Daddy Government - their pretend husbands. Married women voted for Romney because they have kids with a mortgage - it makes them more aware of what's happening in the real world. So stop thinking YOU need to change. The GOP needs to change and show clear policy differences between the parties. Their message will get through.Lime Litehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062140213877618320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-55588846053031903612012-11-19T14:31:59.760-08:002012-11-19T14:31:59.760-08:00We are observing the death throes of Keynesian eco...We are observing the death throes of Keynesian economics. It will get worse, it will collapse, it might come back.<br />The education system has us believing and implementing the very worst parts of political correctness. Young people, many, anyway, do not believe in American exceptionalism. They are not being taught to think and ponder about life and reality - they are taught to regurgitate state mandated answers in state written exams. Facts and history are no longer taught in context and therefore have been put at naught. Mathematics have even been given a "societal context". Your 2 + 2 may not work out as does mine if you feel strongly about your answer in the context of your existence. Don't even speak of the money that has been spent in the implementation of this educational system!Dave's Daily Day Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491764990082380190noreply@blogger.com
