Move more to the center? I don't think so.

There is a war of ideals going on today. The fighting is within the Republican party and it is ferocious to say the least. On one side, there are the centrist blue blood country club republicans and on the other side are the social and fiscal conservatives.

I was just listening to Lou Dobbs and he had on a man who is pushing for the GOP to become more centrist. He was a former staff member of Rudy Giuliani, unfortunately I didn't remember his name. It was really funny to listen to really. Rush Limbaugh had mentioned that the media would make it a habit of bring on analysis of people who lost and ask them how their party can win. So in this case, it was the loser (Giuliani) who lost to the loser (McLame) telling us that conservatism doesn't work and that it can't win.

He went on to say that Social conservatives are a dying breed. He pulled some numbers out of his ass that McCain only won voters over 65 and voters in towns no larger than 50,000 in size. That may be true, but it doesn't mean that social conservatives are scarce, it just means that many social conservatives did not vote, or voted for Obama out of spite.

If it is true that Social conservatism is dying, then explain to me how in the biggest liberal state in the country, Proposition 8 (the vote to ban gay marriage) won the ballot. We won 52% against 48% and of those 48%, many may include people who still think homosexuality is wrong, but voted against it on more libertarian reasons of non intrusion. Heck even Obama himself, mister radical left wing has stated his opposition to homosexuality, even if they choose to vote in favor for non intrusion reason.

So don't try to tell me social conservatism is dead. This is a concentrated attack by the country club republicans to team up with the left wing media and destroy the traditionalist conservative movement. Our only response is to clear them out.
