Letter to AJC 3-9-2012
The primary season illustrates the polar shift in thinking throughout the nation. What we are seeing is the rebirth, again, of the two most powerful political parties as the nation's ideology shifts further to the right.
In spite of the constitutional separation of Church and State, the Republicans are rapidly evolving into a Christian evangelical social conservative party, with shades of Sharia thinking and "take no prisoner" ethos.
The Democrats are now closer to the original fiscal conservative thinking, but with a social conscience and a progressive attitude.
No wonder voters are confused.
The true "Reagan based" Republicans need to urge the Christian Evangelical conservatives to stand up, with the courage of their convictions, and form their own theocratic party, so that Americans can really see what is happening and chose accordingly.
