The Republican Party is no longer loyal to its once-prized conservative values of individual responsibility, integrity, morality and thrift. It has become insular, divisive, dishonorable and intemperate. It is becoming insurrectionary.
The Republican acquiescence to division and disruption in exchange for power and position to win a few piddling policy battles is deplorable. This kind of politics should be denounced not only by Republicans but by all Americans.
Once American conservatism represented prudence, promoting individual responsibility and liberty that would eventually produce a prosperous and a more perfect Union capable of elevating even the lowest among us.
