Bryan Fischer: Yesterday was Pearl Harbor; today we start planning for Normandy

There is no way to sugar coat what happened yesterday. It was a truly sobering setback for morality, economic sanity, political reality and common sense in our nation’s shared public life. But it happened, and it was bad.

The GOP right now faces a crisis of identity and a choice about whether it will abandon its social principles in a misguided lurch to the left in a futile attempt to chase down moderate voters. If it does lurch left, it will simply move farther from its conservative base, and from conservatives who have disaffiliated with the GOP because it no longer represents their conservative values with any degree of confidence and boldness.

If the GOP lurches left (they will tell us it’s a move to the center, but let’s not kid ourselves), it will no longer have a reason to exist. We will have essentially become a one-party country, with the difference between the two parties being one of degree and not kind. If the party abandons its moral foundations, it will shrivel into insignificance, as its dispirited followers drift away, and it will have no ability to be a moral or political counterweight to the socialism of the Democrat Party.

So the message to the GOP: it’s time to paint with bold colors, not pale pastels. Go bold, go big, go conservative, or go home, because if you don’t go conservative, your party faithful will go home and you will be left with leaders but no followers. And, as the man says, if you’re leading but nobody is following, you’re just taking a walk. ...................(more)
