Soul searching ie move to the left is what CBS means.
America has tipped.
It will never come back.
The experiment is over.
The NEA has successfully created a culture in which we now have 51% takers as opposed to workers.
We can now run as right a candidate as we desire or run dem lites- it will not matter.
==============================================
Freerepublic has also tipped. The vast majority of FReepers demonstrated that their supposed conservative principles are disposable when inconvenient when they went all in for a flaming liberal.
Party over principle has ruined/destroyed the GOP and it is killing conservatism.
Conservatism is dead in the GOP, let's not let it be dead on FR, it is our only hope.
The GOP has failed us beyond repair and must be replaced.
It was a close race and if those who did not vote or went 3rd party are pulled in, or things get so bad liberals will pull their heads out, conservatism can tip the nation back.
I've not given up on conservatism. I am a conservative, I can do no other.
I think you are correct. I think a majority of people have been dumbed down to believe that the government is the best solution to giving them things. I also believe that a majority of the people have been taught to lead with what they “feel” rather then lead by core values.
If the GOP decides to change it’s core values and try to win people by making them “feel” good, then they just become the Democrat party and lose even more true conservatives.
At least there are a few states that will function in a conservative manner, but how long that will last is unknown (how long can they survive if federal funds are held back). In the mean time I guess we become the Divided States of America.
