Moving the Marker

As a conservative, I am livid at the discussion and traction given to the thought that the Republican Party is not liberal enough. How absurd is that! That we are even entertaining the discussion that conformity in the name of growing the party is an option, is outrageous. The Republican principles are clear. (Paraphrasing Reagan), ”You don’t join a club because you want to change it, you join because your values are the same”. Ultimately, moving left, would be trading our values, prosperity, and personal liberty for a vote.

We embrace the right of peaceful protest, but do we protest? We know that the right to bear arms was to protect us from an overbearing Government, but we entertain the leftist argument that its about hunting. We know that our education systems are not only broken, but infiltrated by the leftist ideals with intimidating pressures to conform, yet we send our nations future leaders to be indoctrinated. There are answers to gaining the vote without compromise. Are we willing to make the sacrifices? So far I say no.

We have allowed the marker to be moved in the name of political correctness. We now accept the once unacceptable. The question is: What have we been doing while the marker was being moved right under our noses.
