RE: The State of Conservatism in the U. S.
Consider the basic points of conservatism: Limited Government, Balanced Budgets, Free Trade, Curbs on Executive Power, Entitlement Reform, and Collective Security.
You then realize that there is no place for a conservative in either of our “modern” political parties. Both parties are advocates for large government. It’s just a question of whose large government you’re talking about.
Georgia Republicans purge Black Democrats from county election boards
The panel in Spalding, a rural patch south of Atlanta, is one of six county boards that Republicans have quietly reorganized in recent months through similar county-specific state legislation. The changes expanded the party’s power over choosing members of local election boards ahead of the crucial midterm Congressional elections in November 2022.
The unusual rash of restructurings follows the state’s passage of Senate Bill 202, which restricted ballot access statewide and allowed the Republican-controlled State Election Board to assume control of county boards it deems underperforming. The board immediately launched a performance review of the Democratic-leaning Fulton County board, which oversees part of Atlanta.
