The GOP had its "Contract With America" 12 years ago. The Democrats of 2006 are offering their "Suicide Pact With America."
I'm reading Mark Steyn's book, AMERICA ALONE, and he makes a solid case that Europe, with its statism, its multicultural equivalency, its cradle-to-grave social programs, its radical secularism, its pacifistic appeasement, and particularly its less-than-replacement birth rates, is a collection of dying nations. John Kerry made a big deal in 2004 that the US should become more like Europe. Steyn makes the point that most of Europe will be overrun with Muslims within a few decades, and what we now consider to be the cradle of Western Civilization will be dead. Democrats in this country would have us go the route of Europe, and join its suicide pact. No thanks.
The GOP in Congress has been a disappointment on a number of fronts, but anyone who is mad enough at the Republican Party to consider sitting on the sidelines this election, or who plans to make a protest vote which will allow the Dems to regain power in Washington, is allowing the US to be turned back over to those who have adopted nihilism and hopelessness as their formal political ideology. Allowing the Dems to regain power is a ticket to the demise of the American culture and nation. This isn't hyperbole; this is the way it is.
