Ogre's Politics & Views: National Republicans' Future

Sunday, Aug 21, 2005

There can be no denying the fact that the GOP's abandonment of a large measure of the small-government agenda is alienating much of its base. At the same time, it is difficult to see what small-government activists can do about it.

This statement comes from an article at Tech Central Station. It's very well written and helps illustrate the problems conservatives have today -- there is no real political party for us.

The Democrats are just too darn liberal, the National Republican Party agrees with the Democrats in competing to see who can make government grow bigger and faster, and those two coordinate things to ensure no other party can join them.

Maybe if everyone votes for Peroutka, the GOP will wake up.

Wow.

Now you're REALLY starting to sound like a bunch of Marxists.

Jape - that is a bit of an unfair, and inaccurate, statement. Marxists would embrace a big govt, would they not? And for true Conservatives the cancer-like growth of the govt is a Bad Thing.

I'm sounding like Marxist? Only if by noting a match is hot makes me an arsonist.
