Very true.

Just like it's true that the NYC area is home to the largest concentration of hard Leftists in the entire United States. Since you're so near Canada, it's too bad we can't do a straight swap. All of NY State, (including Schumer and BOTH Clintons) for those Western Province that have a Conservative base and lots of oil.

Which has always perplexed me as NY, NY has to be one of the most materialistic centres of the WORLD. But hey, with Hillary as their spokesperson wearing her Chairman Mao clothing line; preaching about how so many are troubled and poor; how terrible that all is while she rakes in the millions and millions of dollars of book deals etc. --- I guess to be a Lib is to practice a mantra of duplicity.

It's the highly educated people (who are almost universally liberal) that understand that concept, and I welcome you to our fold.

"When the Left has lots of money it's perfectly OK because "they care, they really do.""

Wow! You FINALLY understand. I've been telling you that since the beginning. Are you just understanding it now? It's the highly educated people (who are almost universally liberal) that understand that concept, and I welcome you to our fold. "Join me, and together we can overthrow the fascist Bush and his jackbooted thugs, for together we can rule the galaxy." "qdemn7, I am your father..."

you sir are un American. you're not a patriot. you're a disgrace to everything the USA stands for. I forwarded your post to several friends I have from Texas, 2 live here and one in Dallas and all of them as fellow Texans are ashamed. all 3 are right wing Republicans and think what you wrote is not only a disgrace but they also said the majority of Texans would never turn their back on any part of the United States. what's your excuse? because of a difference of opinion you would turn your back on a part of your own country? trade it off to another country? stand and watch it burn like you more than likely did while the towers burned? I bet you were glad it happened to New York right? I bet even now you think New York deserved it. you make every American look bad. did you know West Point is in New York? do you know the top 2 states in the USA who send the most kids there to become officers? New York and Texas. that's right New York has more graduates than any other state in the Union other than maybe Texas.. New York. A blue state full of Patriots. I've been to West Point many times, took the tour, saw a concert there. They never asked me what my politics were nor did I have to prove I was a citizen. I was welcomed as a tax paying Patriotic Citizen and I was treated respectfully. all of upstate is republican and you are to ignorant to understand that diversity is what made the United States in the first place. crawl back into your dung hole and continue to blame everyone else for the failures we have now as a nation on everyone other than the President. he is in charge. he is responsible.

Alright here goes, I going to rip some asses with this one.

No the Republican Party isn't "doomed". Only this iteration of the Republican Party. That is the iteration catering to Religious Conservatives trying to shove a Biblical based morality down people's throats.

The Republican Party as it currently exists has lost it's way:

It has sacrificed fiscal responsibility for a faith "based" agenda, trying to right all social ills through Big Government, just like we always accused the Left of trying to do.

It has allowed a group of politicians who have forgotten the Oath they swore to Protect and Defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Politicians who threaten Jurists who don't rule their way.

It has sacrificed Science, Reason and Technology, three things that have made America a World Leader, for some mystical mumbo-jumbo that equates a fertilized egg as equivalent to a living breathing human being. Who try to make people believe the Earth was created in six 24 hour days.

It has sacrificed the concept of America First, to a Global Economy that equates American Workers to Workers in any Third World Cesspit.

It has created a class of Capitalists that are the most amoral and disloyal group of businessmen since those who wondered whether it was possible "to do business with Hitler."

We need a time in the "wilderness". We need time to reflect on our mistakes and errors. We need to tell those people who think otherwise that this is a Republic whose Supreme Law is a Constitution and a set of laws made by men. Not the Bible. Not the Torah. Not the Koran. Not the Ten Commandments. To tell those who would institute a Theocracy that they are traitors to the idea and the ideals of America, no matter what faith they hold.

What we need is a plain spoken man with the guts of Harry Truman, and the ideology of Barry Goldwater. And right now, I don't see one.
