Time for a Republican Party to Learn Tolerance
Somewhere between Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan the Republican party went from being the party that freed the slaves to the party of "traditional family values".
So where does that leave people who believe in small government, free markets, and privatization, but also embrace cultural diversity, alternative lifestyles, and personal responsibility?
I think its time for parties to re-align their platforms. They way views are bundled now there is no comfortable fit, at least not for me. I am probably most closely aligned with the Libertarian party... but this is a party whose brand badly needs to be remade.
