Tony Perkins Thinks the GOP Highjacked Conservative Movement

[MetalEagle95]

Until republicans and conservatives can drop the "We are what true America looks like therefore we should represent it" argument, they have no credibility or intelligence.

I could not agree more.

"Atheism leads a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation: all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue...""What you should say to outsiders is that a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our Association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself shall not stand upon it." Susan B. Anthony "

These guys just don't get it. The US is NOT a center-right country. It is a centrist country, neither conservative nor liberal. That's not to say there aren't parts of the US which lean 1 way or the other, but as a whole it is pretty middle of the road.

I think that either in the short or long run the Republican party will split between the moderates and the right wings. They seem to be having trouble in finding what it means to be a Republican.

2001-2007 repubs control house, senate and executive. Abortion still legal.

Evangelicals still voting repub. Tools.

America is a CENTER RIGHT Nation! Get the message! America is a CENTER RIGHT Nation!

[wervasdeferens]

The GOP hijacked the Conservative movement starting with Reagan pimping the Moral Majority.

The social cons/evangelicals should start their own party. They can call it Racists for Jesus, Or illiterates who can't actually read the Bible but know that God hates any non-WASP.

Or xenophobes who hate Gays,but like being sodomized by the corporatocracy. Or simply, the KKK.

This guy right here and social conservatives are exactly what America moved away from. This guy makes no sense. Obama's win reflects that the country overwhelmingly wanted to shift to a left-center position. Perkins is a fuckin' self-denying, lying douchebag.

[xdir]

When ever these people pass the buck by saying "Republicans did not govern well" why does'nt the interviwer ask "why did you support them during the time of bad governing".

[uyd]

Who gives a sh--t whether or not the social conservatives can relate to the candidates. This guy and These people think nothing is wrong with working to enshrine discrimination against gays and lesbians in state consitutions. AS far as I'm concerned they need to be marginalized by the Republicans and seperation of church & state needs to be forefront in their politics or they will be the minority party for a long time.

Tony Perkins and the FRC are, collectively and individually, lying sacks of shit. Their agenda has nothing to do with conservatism. It has to do with rewriting the Constitution based on the Old Testament. Using the government to control your neighbor's bedroom is not a conservative value, and these slimy Dominionists know it. But like all Christians, they have no problem using any tactics, no matter how dishonest to achieve their holy mandate.

Research your own damn family and leave mine alone!

[rkcoon]

I love how this clown tries to separate conservative and republican, NOW, after the election, when it was the combo that sank them both to start with.

[seriouslysad]

Our Nation was founded on Christian values, but not to be ruled by the Church! A Nation of Laws. We have turned into a Nation of changing laws to accommodate irresponsible behaviors. Bail outs, trade deficits and Amnesty. China makes billions by selling us toxic junk, anyone can enter our country and demand to be legalized. No effort mortgages. We have turned into the Land of the Free for All!

[rkcoon]

You dont know much at all about your own history, do you?

[waltermh111]

Yeah, how many times does it have to be repeated that this country was founded by christians, deists, and atheists. Not just christian values.

[seriouslysad]

I know more than you think!

[Masenko]

Out nation was founded on the values of the Enlightenment, not Christianity.

[Roonskii]

If you think bat shit drives you crazy,

this guy has been eating moose shit.

[almamatters2471]

America is center right? that is why the dems have control of all 3 branches of government? please, someone find the dirty laundry this guy has in his closet already and let's be done with his nonsense.

[GBTRU]

I hope these two factions in this party continue to fight.

[kcp12304]

personal faith and public policy...wtf...the founding father must be rolling in thier graves. There is no religous test to hold any office and there is a reason for that.

The conservative movement took over the GOP not the other way around. Please conservatives, make your own party.

[aviva08]

Someone needs to hijack this shmoe.
