How does this Harvard educated, failure at being head of Chicago Public School system who was promoted to Sec of Education still talk with a lisp?

While all of you commentators are wasting time volleying ideologies, the future of your children is being decided. Get involved. Please don't just recycle some idiots opinions on these message boards. It is sink or swim time for our kids and they are barely staying afloat.

Historically, the Republican Party was made up of Moderates (Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, B. Harrison, etc), Progressives (Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Mckinley, etc), Libertarians (Coolidge in particular) and a small Conservative wing that did not believe in tax cuts for the rich.

Prior to Barry Goldwater (1964), the GOP had practically no conservatives. Especially no religious ones. The Southern Democrats defected to the GOP thanks to Nixon's "Southern Strategy".

Yes I have many Libertarian views. Especially when it comes to drugs, prostitution, gambling, personal liberties, etc.

However, I remind you that the Libertarian "wing" of the Republican party has been there from the get-go. It rose to 40% around 1920 and elected Calvin Coolidge, our most Libertarian of any Republican President.

There has been a hijacking, unfortunately, of the GOP by former Southern Democrats, who are pro-War and are Christian Theocrats.

@smartwarlord you sir, are a liberatarian and not a republican. the republican party supports the repeal of roe v wade, the republican party opposes same sex marriage, the republican party supports putting god back in school and teaching kids in school about good christian moral values. perhaps you don't, but the republican party very much does.

That's the Christian agenda, not the Republican one.

As a Republican, I adhere to strict separation of church and state. I don't believe in tax exemptions for churches. I don't concern myself with public schools (you mention science classrooms) as I believe in the Republican idea of school choice / vouchers. (ideally, there should be no public schools)

I'm pro-choice and a member of both NARAL and Republican Majority for Choice.
