RINOs are not Conservative and have ruined the GOP. I don't consider Peggy Noonan, Bill Kristol or Colin Powell Conservatives and but they claim to be Republicans. Good riddance if they leave tomorrow, I don't welcome them. I am not crazy about the religious right. I have a niece who is extreme and think it's narrow and over the top. I am a traditionalist, fervently against abortion, same sex marriage, I believe in preemption and a very strong military, lower taxes across the board, incentives for businesses to grow, religious freedom, and no earmarking under any circumstances. I work with people like Pat Toomey of Club for Growth to get real Conservatives elected like Jim DeMint (SC), Mike Pence (R-IN) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) Barack Obama is as dangerous as anything we've seen in our lifetimes if your 20 or 91 like my mother who lived through the Great Depression and survived FDR, LBJ and Carter.

Socially, the Republican party isn't conservative, they're religious zealots and fiscally, they're getting worse than the tax-and-spend liberals. They don't believe in living within their means, they just pull out the credit card and spend like crazy. There isn't a party out there that really represents true conservatives and that's sad.

It's good to have you here. :) Cephus, that's part of the reason why I identify myself not as a Republican, but as a secular conservative. The Republican Party is definitely the more conservative party, but it's not truly conservative -- and what parts of true conservatism they do have they tends to gravitate around religious conservatism. I'm actually already working on my piece for Thursday, but both of the things that are going up next week will address the very issue of being conservative versus being Republican.

It wasn't the liberals who ran up a $10 trillion dollar national debt, that was the supposedly fiscally conservative Republicans. It wasn't the liberals who let the nation's financial sector go to hell, even after the clear signs were that it was in trouble, that was the Republicans. Whatever happened to the true conservatives, the ones for small government, fiscal responsibility and keeping the government out of your life? It sure hasn't been in the White House for decades.

After reading Stealing Elections, Liberal Fascism and Failure Factory, as well as writing on the Libs for over 5 years, it's time to have a plan "B" installed. Indeed!
