One of the stranger things to do is listen to Republicans talk among themselves as they do at The Corner or at American Enterprise Institute seminars. Let me ask you something. If it were not for social issues like legal abortion, gay rights, school prayer, and the church/state balance, where would Republicans get their votes? They can’t call a truce on social issues because social issues are what they use to motivate middle class people to vote for Wall Street’s interests. It’s as simple as that. Freedom means never regulating what powerful businessmen do.
