I Won't Join them!

    There is a popular phase that says,"If you can't beat them join them." I am afraid this phase in a sense express a new kind of political thinking in the Republican party lately.As a Reagan, conservative I am find it more and more difficult to find any real differences between the Republicans or the Democrats.The Republicans seem to think that since they have lost the last two elections they must become more like the Democrats but if they really do that why have a Republican Party in the first place?Conservative Republicans, in case one may have forgotten are supposed to stand for limited government, low taxes, a balanced budget approach to government spending, and above all, traditional societal values.I find however, that more and more, Republicans are acting more like liberal Democrats, Republicans,  now seem willing to accept the idea of gay marriage this concept,   hardly reflects  traditional family values.the very definition of a family is being called in to question in American society today. A family,  it seems can be defined as any two individuals who choose to live under the same roof. I suppose then,  a family,  can be a mother and father and child, a mother and child, a father and child,or a child with two mothers or two fathers. One then has to wonder if the Supreme Court,  chooses to recognize gay marriage,  can polygamy,  be far behind? After all,  in a man wants to have more than one wife shouldn't he be granted equal protection under the law?
    Republicans now seem willing to politically relax their position in the area of illegal immigration in deed many Republicans now favor what I would call at least a watered down version of amnesty for America's illegal guest.I realize Republicans, seek to gain political support especially among America's Latino population. I have to wonder though if nearly every illegal alien is going to be allowed to stay in this country and suffer no consequences for entering this country illegally,  why even have immigration laws in the first place? When Amnesty, is so freely given why should anyone wanting to come to this country bother to go through all endless forms and legal paperwork to  gain legal American citizenship? I am sure many,  who have gone through the legal process to achieve their American citizenship feel some what cheated when the consider there may may be  as many as eleven million illegal aliens living in this country at this moment who may never even have to go through the process of legal American citizenship and to my way of thinking this makes American citizenship seem rather cheap!
    All I know is if the only way the Republicans, can win the next election is to become a Democrat I may be forced to either not vote or become an independent. Let's face it, if your going to have a two party system there has to be differences between the two parties lately however I haven't seen that many differences. All I can say is,  when it comes to the liberal progressive democrats if the republicans can't beat them I won't be joining them! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words to think on.
