Michael Steele: Republican Party Facing Irrelevancy

It's time for the Republican party to modernize or face the threat of extinction, says former Maryland lieutenant governor and Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele.

Speaking with WTOP Monday morning, Steele warned that the re-election of President Barack Obama spoke to a broader problem within his party.

"Party elders are still executing a southern strategy," he said. "They predominantly looked at the party through a southern lens where we have a great base and a great deal of strength, but the country has changed."

It really doesn't matter anymore. America is lost. We are not a free and compassionate republic any longer and it will take generations of people to change it. I just don't see that happening.

As for me I can't leave Maryland nor the U.S. so I will hunker down, plant a garden and try to avoid paying taxes.
