I am still a little leary of saying much here. I did WalkAway several years ago. I was not really ready to join the GOP right away, but as I see more and more vitriol from the left I am now ready to officially call myself a republican seeing as they already now disown and hate me for willingness to use the conservative label... I found that I was not under assault from conservatives when I was part of the Democrat party, but when I finally started paying attention I now understand why. When I finally didn't fall for the media propaganda and lies, I found, like Brandon Straka says, he was and really is a conservative in his beliefs once he, and I, fully understood/understand the paradigms as they exist today. Now that I am willing to proudly pronounce myself conservative, and then even up another degree now that I'm willing to say I will join the GOP, the knives are out from the "supposedly tolerant leftists" that in all reality are not about tolerance, acceptance, unity, but instead demand conformity. I will not conform to their march to Marxism nor be a useful idiot (as I saw here a post from someone about that concept and was finally really to admit I had been such for them all these years) of or for the left.

I am new. I am considering becoming a delegate after having seen various parts of this website and coming across the precinct delegate form in the about section. I am concerned about what is the future of the republican party. I am pissed off at not just democrat socialists but far too many republicans that are enablers of the lefts bad policy agenda. It is clear that the democrats are full blown socialists, but I fear the "overton window" effect that glenn beck so wonderfully addressed on his shows past and in one of his books. As the democrats go ever farrer left over the years so many in the republican party seem to move left also shifting the whole overall concept of government to match, support, vote with democrats to be ever larger and more controlling and powerful and all encompassing. Where has the republican party of conservatism and smaller government gone? Will it come back, which is what my involvement will try to help accomplish. Can it come back, or is it too far gone?
