Florida's "Moral Crossroads"

In a new column for Human Events online, conservative activist John Stemberger virtually depicts the GOP primary as a choice between good and evil, Lucifer and the Almighty.

"When Gov. Ronald Reagan left California to lead our nation, Californians faced a stark choice between two visions for their state's future. To put it simply, they chose a culture of instant gratification, promiscuity, and secularism over a culture of principle, family, and faith traditions. They made the wrong choice, and are paying for it with high rates of abortion, drug use, divorce, crime, and school dropouts.

"Now Florida faces a similar alternative in choosing its next governor....Tom Gallagher will stand up for the basic conservative values and institutions that Floridians cherish. Charlie Crist will not."
