Responding to the title, I first want to point out that the Republican party does have their idea generators. Take, for instance, Newt Gingrich. The media doesn’t focus much on his versatility, but no one can make your eyes and head spin like a roulette machine the way he can in the numbers game of relevant ideas. However, having many, many ideas really isn’t the measure of try in making America as great as she can be, and new ideas are not the point of an American platform.

With Republicans, it is their strong suit that that they don’t come up with new ways to interfere with the American way of life. Blind rejoicing over ideas just because they are new, and no matter if they turn out to be crummy at the core and detrimental in the long run, is not rational. Such lack of rational thinking is one symptom of the systematic dumbing down that America has undergone over the past 40 years. The bulk of our citizens are becoming, by design of liberal educators, progressively ignorant of America’s founding principles as the years pass; they think new ways have always got to be better than old, and that’s that. A lack of education about our founding is one reason why the leftists are succeeding in destroying this great country, the place where many other freedom lovers come to flee their once-great countries destroyed by liberalism.

Cher was on national television a while back sincerely asking why anyone would want to be a Republican. She seemed to think that if you were poor, black, or gay there was no place for you in the GOP. There are so many others like Cher, whose life isn’t largely political, who have concluded the same thing based on tidbits heard here and there.

It is to the Democrat advantage to keep people unenlightened, keep them armed with cliches and poorly aimed emotions and jealousies or anything else to muddy true Republican intentions. When anyone speaks out in defense of conservatism, then that anyone becomes an easy smear target. Fortunately, I know while writing behind my typewriter I won’t need to pick up and run from a pie.

First off, for those of you who despise Republicans, please realize the Republican party doesn’t divide Americans into categories and then claim to have a big tent because of all the compartments people can fit into. No, instead they truly do have a big welcoming tent that all Americans qualify to fit into regardless of race, class, or sexual preference. The only qualification involved is personal philosophy. Your own choice of personal philosophy, nothing else, is what should determine whether or not you will become a Republican.
