trkyhntr,
I couldn't agree with you more. You are spot on. The religious right has been able to highjack the Republican party through the abortion issue. What drive me up the wall is that the President will not change things regarding abortion in this country, the courts will. As long as we have strict, constructionist judges appointed to the supreme court, then Roe v. Wade will have a chance of being seen for what it is...bad law. That is all assuming that the court would even hear the case, which I doubt they would unless their was huge ground swell of support from Americans.
I like your definition of conservative and would add to it, smaller government.
Somewhere during the Great Society programs Americans lost their way and started to believe that government was the solution to their problems rather than the liberty given to us by our forefathers.
Thanks for the post!!
