The Real Division

Boy, have you convoluted matters. You attribute everything good to the center, and everything bad to the right. You also did not mention the liberals who joined the conservative movement. From "Ten Books" (tenbooks.pdf) by Jeffery O. Nelson offered at "Intercollegiate Studies Institute":

"After the 1964 election, and especially after
the implementation of Lyndon Johnson’s “Great
Society” programs, the conservative movement
welcomed what was to become the fourth component
of its intellectual coalition. Popularly
known as “neoconservatives,” this group of
disillusioned liberals, claiming, as one of them
put it, to have been “mugged by reality,” migrated
to the conservative cause. Reacting in part
to the social uprisings of the 60s, in part to the
isolationism and perceived “anti-Americanism” of
the New Left, and in part to the consequences of
liberal activism in government, these gifted
newcomers came to realize that good intentions
do not guarantee good or effective government."

You left out the fourth major group who makes up the center, best represented by George W. Bush, and the group hindering Conservatism and perverting freedom along with the Democratic Party. My suggestion to you neo-cons in the center is to return to the Democratic Party from where you came. You’ve done enough damage, not only to the Republican Party, but to the nation.

Your epistle obviously was cobbled together over at the Democrat National Committee from old teacher union newsletters. My first impulse was to write that you had raided the waste can in Pelosis toilet, but that would be unnecessarily unkind. I apologize.

Just won't work anymore. Your well crafted seminar papers, I mean. Obviously, you don't know anything about Jim Inhofe or Demint. Dr. Dobson has never sought to lead any political organization. He is a contrarian psychologist whose work interests a few conservatives. He has spoken only to the members of his own organization or when invited by the media.

You will see a political recombination occur. No "groups" or "wings" are visible at the moment. Just a genetic basis exists for an organized effort to hold you professional activists in check.

We know that the odds are against us; for, unlike you clever folks on the left, we do not depend on clusters of power that need tending momentarily like animals in a great zoo. We are very naive by your standards, but we have come alive at times and opposed you successfully.

Most of us don't march under any banner. We live simply hoping that the few words about freedom in the constitution will be sufficient to keep you good folks from snuffing everyone with whom you disagree. We don't want to go to Washington. We don't have a psychotic need to control the universe.

If some of us realize our goals, those of you who worry about the fortunes of ideological nonentities like Whitman and Schwarznegger will once again be pushed to the fringe of the republican camp fire. That's your dictum not ours. We always play the hand you deal. We don't want to deny you anything; but we admit that we don't like your ideological personalities or your narrow leftist mentalities. We just want you to be content to build your own campfires and leave the Bill of Rights alone. If that means apartheid, maybe that's for the best.
