He is so far to the right? Are you saying he's further right than the Evangelicals? Or the right to lifers? Rush Limbaugh probably has the best handle on what conservatism really is than anyone in the country right now. Smaller government, lower taxes, equal opportunity, individual freedom (and responsibility), the importance of our founding documents and so much more. He spoke to it all.
He spoke about the goodness of America and it's people. He waved the flag (which liberals seem afraid to do). I think the one thing he said that liberals hate is that while we are all granted equal opportunity to achieve we are not all guaranteed the same results.. That in an effort to raise the plight of the poor we don't need to punish or tear down the rich. He wants everybody to be rich. He wants everybody to succeed.
It has been the competitiveness and daring that has brought prosperty. I liked his story about kids playing soccer where they can't keep score because some kids might feel like failures or get their feelings hurt. But the kids DO keep score. They know it's about winning and losing. That's what the real world is all about.
What is wrong with that?
