Right wingers: What is your answer to combat the political momentum you are facing? Demographics are going against you. The coming generation's upbringing of sharing and being unselfish is going to hit mainstream soon. Society is war weary, and sees the GOP as being at fault for it. Gay marriage is a losing issue for the right. So is abortion.
The snowball effect is kicking in now. You have Bill O'Reilly losing his temper. You have a SC Republican saying "Its good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House" (seriously, thats what he said).
You have the housing and job market creeping into a better state. You have Wall Street hitting record highs. You have the deficit starting to show signs of stability. You have the 2 wars coming to an end. You have the Tea Party looking more looney by the week.
Is the right wing about to become nothing more than a fringe alternative lifestyle?
By the "coming generation" I assume you are referring to 20 somethings. Of course if you knew history you'd be aware that every generation of 20 somethings is very generous, it isn't until later that they divide into different groups. Those that are Consnervative remain generous and continue to share what they have. Those that turn Liberal lose interest in sharing what they have and instead insist that the government confiscate what others have earned and share it with the less fortunate. If you don't believe me try actually looking up facts instead of just regurgitating what you hear on HuffPo.
As for Gay Marriage I just want to be clear on your position. You believe that a Secular government that is not yet 225 years old run by a Constitution that I'm sure you think contains the phrase "Wall of seperation between Church and state" should be re-defining a 5,000 year old Religious Sacrament. Even though there is an obvious and simple solution of Civil Unions available. I guess that Wall has a big ass gate for the things you like to go through.
WTH does O'Reilly have to do with the Right, he's a Moderate who finally realized that President O'bama is intentionally destroying the economy by bankrupting the country. Then someone he invited on his program lied dead in his face repeatedly and he got upset. Did you have a point?
The housing and job markets are "creeping" up, I'd say that would be a good word for it, like a snail with a bum knee. And that is with us printing and borrowing as fast as we possibly can, what do you think is going to happen when an adult is put in charge and they have to stop borrowing half the money we spend and slows the printing presses enough that they at least stop smoking?
The deficit is showing signs of stability
I didn't know you were living in Fantasyland or do you just think a steady Trillion dollars a year in growth is stability? And while we're on the subject you mentioned the Tea Party. In your opinion a 17 Trillion dollar deficit and an annual debt of a Trillion dollars are stability and the people who look at those numbers and say that maybe we should get control of our spending are Looney. You really do have some interesting Points of View.
I suppose it's possible you're right, if the Liberals continue to turn the United States into a nation of whiners who think they have it tough and just want the government to do more and more for them, then Conservatism will fall out of favor. Of course as PM Thatcher said, eventually you run out of other people's money. By that time you will have turned this once great country into a cesspool that looks like a mix of Cuba, Venezuela and the old Soviet Union. At that point the people will turn to Conservatives to fix things and if you haven't taken it too far we will make the country prosperous and great again and the process will start all over.
But what do you care, by then you will have lived a life funded by government checks written on accounts funded by money that was borrowed, printed with nothing to back it or simply confiscated from the people who earned it. Enjoy and you're welcome!
