As a young moderately conservative male, I would like to speak of how the conservative movement held hostage by certain groups in this country. Firstly I am not a religious person, I vote the brain, not the Bible. It angers me how the Republican Party, has sold their soul to the religious right for votes. I feel that if Republicans would stop pandering to the religious right we could gain a wide circle of acceptance. The God fearing people of this great nation will still have a choice on such moral issues like abortion and gay marriage and the choice to support said platform would be entirely of the candidates discretion, but would be from conscious, not consensus, i.e. you don’t need to believe in God to think that abortion represents a failure of the person/community/nation. I think this is most evident in the refusal of many conservatives in power to try and discredit evolution, something the Republicans need to learn to live with or face serious consequences. Secondly, morality need not come from the Bible. I may be 20yrs old, but I can tell you I find the level of debauchery and hedonism to be at epic proportions. I find the so-called “leaders” my generation has anointed our spokesmen, to be committing genocide on the minds of our nation’s youth. What do you think?
