Patrick Buchanan:
“The GOP used to be united on a traditionalist view of social and moral issues. Now, not only the Log Cabin Club, but libertarians and some moderate Republicans are receptive to the idea of homosexual marriage. And the ticket of Romney-Ryan accepts abortion in the case of incest or rape.
Once the principled position is yielded, where do we draw the line? At what point does constant accommodation cause True Believers to depart?”
Answer:
True believers shouldn’t look to politics to see their positions enacted.
They will have to limit their preferences to their immediate family.
The point is there’s a new religion in town, eco-feminism. Traditional Christianity (or anything else) is the out of favor heresy.
Christians should migrate. Russia seems a good idea, given the reactions of people there to punk provocation.
Catholics will have to learn to compromise with Orthodoxy, but compared to what they compromise with here, that would be a cinch.
Of course, Buchanan’s issues are mistaken. Gay marriage isn’t a problem. In the context, it’s a solution.
What’s a problem is treating sex as a consumer item among many, an appetite no different from eating or drinking.
Changing that would need a dismantling of corporate culture.
Something tells me no one at LRC is too keen on that.
As in, run for president? He’s done that a few times already, and the results were not unlike Ron Paul’s campaign.
As of now, I’m not inclined to run anywhere. My ancestors are among the oldest on the continent; some of them were here before any white man showed up.
Although, if you really want to flee somewhere, Costa Rica sounds like a pretty nice destination.
No, as in run from the country.
He should start an opposition movement from abroad. He would be popular in Russia I think.
I vastly prefer the Orthodox church to any Western church.
It is beautiful and mysterious. The women cover their heads in the old way (and as they did in India), people kiss icons and stand for hours, and I don’t understand a word, which is fine by me, since I get convinced by many things, logic, the least of them,
Sorry about your false arrest.
You should never let the police get away with such stuff.
