Interesting article and I tend to agree with most of it.
But here’s the thing, I am shocked that anyone is shocked. Spending too much time in the echo chamber must be the reason. This has been coming for about a decade (and probably before but more subtly). It was hugely disappointing, but no shock to anyone paying attention.
As for the two alternatives, that is probably true. Our overwhelming problem is we don’t have the numbers to change the GOP, start a Third Party, or organize resistance. I’m not saying we don’t have ANYONE. Quite the contrary. And maybe everyone in our social circles are “rarin’ to go”. But those are still small numbers. And our group is shrinking while the other side’s is growing. I have yet to see us put any significant numbers “on the streets” for anything.
“the other side is growing” because they are the only side in the fracas.
People flock to the side that is “doing something”, even if they must modify their views to accommodate the flocking.
Conservatives need to do more than speechify, they need to MOVE!
Agreed. I was shocked for the last time when Roberts came up with the first 0bamacare decision, which made very clear that the court's first priority was to further leftist goals at the expense of what remained of the Constitution. I was surprised (at the time), as I supposed that Roberts was still a conservative, and that the defense of the Constitution was the court's fundamental purpose in our system of government. How wrong I was.
That's a lot of hard cold hearts.
Anything can happen. I predict cannibalism.
I think you are right, but I’m not sure. Having trouble here believing that what has happened these last two weeks or so garners majority opinion.
This was Ted Cruz’s contention also. He said that five unelected lawyers threatened democracy, usurping the opinions of millions, when the Constitution provides the means to decide these questions. It’s called the VOTE.
We will never know, will we? Gayness has been established by the courts in every case, not the people, and it must stop. Impeach the SOB’s.
