I agree with Billy. I am a social conservative that tries to make practical arguments.
The Institute for American Values is an excellent organization that has been doing that for a long time. www.americanvalues.org Kevin Mike : Granted that the way that many Republicans --mostly so-called "social conservatives"-- go about fighting the culture war, I'd say you have a point. Tradition for the sake of tradition, and all support for their views, or nearly all, is religious. Not that I am against religious influence, quite the opposite, but there is a right way and a wrong way to make religion-motivated points and usually ( 80 % minimum ) social conservatives instinctively choose the way almost guaranteed to lose. And are all social conservative views valid ? I really don't think so. All this said, what is the alternative to morality ? Nihilism ? What we get on the Left is, seems clear enough, exactly that. Amorality helps us all, how ? ? ? Billy --------------------------------------------------------- 11/9/2011 10:59:46 P.M.

I'm actually a Republican, but I can't endorse their side of the culture war. If you lose all means of getting by, you get pushed way further back than the starting line. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
