Conservatism is like the lovely Marilyn Munster; the Republican Party is like her whole freaky family. We see the attractive young lady hitch-hiking at the side of the road, but, when we stop to pick her up, Grandpa, Eddie, Lily, and Herman jump out from behind the bushes and get in the car with her. The driving voices behind both major parties always come from the weird uncles with the scary agendas, and never from the palatable patriots offering nothing more than the beautiful core values. On the one hand, the God Is Dead Party offers hope and change, but dispenses a society first and universal everything system of governmentally structured mediocrity for all. On the other hand, the God for President Party preaches constitutionalism, tax cuts, and the American Dream, but when given power they deliver a moral agenda of anti-abortion, anti-stem cell, and anti-gay. As right and righteous as these agendas may be for some individuals personal pursuit of happiness, they will not heal America nor bring our people together. The time has come to expose the social revolutionaries of the New Left that have hijacked the Democratic Party, and to tell those who think they own conservatism that social conservatism belongs in people and in society not in policy. Can conservative politics trade away the socially wonderful but politically divisive moral views of Jerry Falwell for the homespun base values of Norman Rockwell's Americana? Or will they persist in the losing battle of the extremes that has been pushing voters to hand America over to the socialists?
