Changing Themes in the GOP

Had the radio on driving to get coffee. Rush Limbaugh was denouncing sexism and patriarchal privilege. McCain ad comes on pitching expanding embryonic stem cell research. Boy, haven’t things changed in the Republican party? For the better, says me.

There hasn’t been any rhetorical gay-bashing this time around, either. 1992 and the Pat Buchanan culture war speech suddenly seems like a long time ago. Not that I’m about to go register as a Republican, but the idea doesn’t seem as far-fetched as it used to.
As a bonus, lefty heads are exploding and the MSM is taking off its mask. So much has been revealed!

Yes indeed. Isn’t it nice to be rid of his vile antics? Even if his Neo-America-First movement has found an odd new home in Ronpaulism…perhaps only further marginalizing itself in the migration. Talk about starting from zero and subtracting. At least Buchanan’s hero, Charles Lindbergh, could fly a plane.
Conservatives change right along… just more slowly. So what conservatives conserve now isn’t the same thing that conservatives conserved before. Now it seems to pretty much be conserving some form of classical liberalism.
