Contemporary conservatism's fatal flaw is that it is represented by people like the OP. Its decline in popularity is attributable in large part to its repulsive messengers.
Now, to address the thread specifically, there is a direct correlation. The proliferation of repulsive representatives of conservatism has effectively opened the door for a strong lurch to the left, and that's precisely what we're seeing. Leftists - and I don't mean traditional liberals, I mean hardcore leftists - should thank their lucky stars for conservative talk radio and its faithful and obedient adherents, obviously including the OP. You're getting a valuable assist here.
Yes, the far left has become stronger and more emboldened, in large part because of the unattractive antics of the far right. And whatever weaknesses and flaws you may want to attribute to liberalism will manifest more quickly and more broadly because of people like the OP.
It's happening by comparison.

No...what you are seeing is 12-16 years of indoctrination of our young people into the failed belief in modern left wing liberalism/progressivism/regressivism..........the government schools....controlled by the left wing education branch of the democrat party uses those 12-16 years to teach a failed system.......and then you guys say ......see.....people don't like conservatism......
Give us 12-16 years of unfettered access to teach about liberty, individual rights and responsibilities, limited government, checks and balances....and free markets....and we would have the wealthiest, healthiest and most powerful country in the world.......
But we have a 5th column of lefty nuts who have taken over education, the government bureacracies, journalism and entertainment......and they still can't completely control the country....
Why would liberals be able to exercise dictatorial control over public education when in fact the governing structure of public education at every level is
by ELECTED officials, or by people appointed or hired by elected officials?
Don't conservatives vote?
The teachers unions and their membership are predominantly left wing...or neutral.......and so those not specifically conservative outnumber the conservatives.......it is in the classroom where the left wing crap gets taught......
