Exhausted by Conservatism
<p>As a political science teacher for forty years, I am well aware of the historical platforms of the GOP beginning with my first awareness in the election of 1964. These was thread of opposition to the federal government, except for the military. There was the red scare fear of everything Soviet or Chinese. And of course the same fear for just about everything new and changing. I was always able to teach the ideas of anti-taxation, and support for all things military as key components of the GOP platform. But recently, I have become exhausted trying to keep up the façade of pretending that there is a coherent political platform. One would think it would be guns and the 2nd Amendment, but in every poll I have seen in the past five years, a majority of Americans want common sense gun reforms like background checks, keeping guns from folks charged with domestic violence, and fixing all of the loopholes that allow our mass gunmen to get large caches of ammunition and weapons to kill great numbers of people. </p>
