"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right that Heaven itself has ordained" - President and General George Washington

"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try Liberty; for Liberty is an acknowledgement of faith in God and His works" - Frederic Bastiat

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" - President Ronald Reagan

"If your beliefs are worth dying for then your life is worth living" - Guy Average

The "Social Issues" Vacuum Is Filled By Progressives On The Left

The so-called "Social Issues" have been the bastion of The Left in the USA for many, many years.  Public Education, or Government Education more accurately, is the foundation for Leftist Thought and doctrine in our nation, and each and every year there is a new class of graduates at every level of government education who have been indoctrinated in a single and narrow way of thinking.  This way of thinking is that the answer to every problem is the government and that people are incapable of taking responsibility for their own lives, and by inference also incapable of taking responsibility for self-government.  

If Conservatives abandon their pursuit of social issues then The Left will continue to operate as the source of procedural wisdom and the bedrock of Political Correctness that indeed not only is the basis of the addressing of social issues but also the formation of the groundwork of indoctrinated thought by which these issues are addressed in the USA.  This means that The Left calls the shots in any debate on not only government education but also abortion, homosexuality, sharia law, parental rights, carbon taxation, and the list goes on Ad Infinitum. 

The Left controls the vocabulary of political correctness when it comes to how these issues are spoken about and, by inference, also how these issues are thought about.  Make no mistake, when an imposed vocabulary is present, the thought process follows that imposed vocabulary.  

If Conservatives are convinced that they should not deal with the social issues then they are conceding this already occupied ground to The Left.  To do this would be a fundamental and fatal mistake.
