But I will also add I have no idea what the Republican Utopia is any more!
Look at the democrat utopia of 80 years ago and you will see the current republican utopia. They all shifted left. Repubs are now moderates - middle of the road.

And from my position, this insider is not impressed with the leadership of the party in question...I will continue to infect, and do things that might enact some sort of change in philosophy, but I feel it is only a finger in the dike of politics...We need to have a lifeboat on the davits ready to cast off when the levy breaks...
And I accept ALL criticism for my past and current political affiliation with open arms...
To address the OP's original thoughts...
I believe the country, much less its elected caste of characters has lost its virtue...How can we really accept the blessings from God, if we ALL are responsible for the decline of this culture...
The republicans have lost the culture at the expense of trying to win the political battle of issues...Until republicans recognize this we will continue to lose the war...
But, what do I know...Right???
The answer, in my opinion is NOT libertarianism, it is still, and will remain conservatisism based upon originalist intent...Those old foagie white guys in wigs thought this out pretty good...It wasnt perfect, but it was still inspired, and blessed from the beginning...Liberalism, Fabian Socialism, "progressives" have every intent upon destroying this country,and they are winning the cultural side of the battle...We need to take that away from them if we are ever to recover those basic principles upon which this country was founded...It is ever as pertinant today, as it was 230+ years ago...
Just my opinion...
