From the point of view of a social conservative

I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I don't fall into a clear cut category. I even love some of the views the Libertarian and Green Parties. I guess like most of the country I am center-right. And even though I supported McCain in the last election, it wasn't out of loyalty to a party. Neither of these candidates comply with my beliefs. McCain came the closest so I voted for him. A better person to put at the top of the ticket would have been Mitt Romney or Ron Paul. All over the media there has been a effort to pain a division in the Republican party. An attempt to show why they lost. But the true reason they lost wasn't because they haven't evolved. The reason is that it did change...for the worse. In many ways I cannot see the difference between the two parties. And when McCain got the nod from the party I was proven right. While I respect his attempts to reach across the aisle, he is a truly a very liberal Republican. Now that the storm has passed I am worried about this new America. As a man who has fought for this country, I came back twice to a changing nation. I have seen my fellow citizens burn our flag. I have heard even worse. Even though I am hopeful that President Obama may have what it takes to guide this country, I am also doubtful. I also worried about this cult following that he commands. Never in my lifetime have I seen something of this degree, accept in some sports figures. Time will tell
