We can hope and pray but....
it’s not likely
No we’re not and no it won’t. You’ll see hell freeze over first.
Many people believe pie in the sky lies that can never come true to reality.
Exactly, the GOPe loves the ‘Rats more than Conservatives.
Because there will always be emotionalism: envy,pity, and white guilt.There will always be those who believe that altruism is a primary virtue, and that people must be forced to sacrifice their values. There will always be lazy, incompetent individuals who cannot survive without being a parasite, and who want the undeserved, the unearned, and something for nothing.There will always be those who are be collectivists who believe that putting society above the individual is the another primary virtue. There will always be those with low self esteem who don't mind being forced to sacrifice their values.
Every time I go to the mall or to Wal-Mart, I am convinced this nation is finished. Sorry Rush.
I think the Dems have the winning combination for POTUS elections.
The entitlement army to provide the votes and crony capitalists to provide the money.
At least until the markets puke up the fake money created to pay the entitlement army.
“It was made up of ten agenda points that they intended to do, and they were substantive - balance the budget, reduce the deficit, reduce spending, all those things — and they set out to do them. But it wasn’t many years later that voters went right back to voting Democrat. They embraced Bill Clinton all over again and I was left scratching my head. I was asking how is it that these voters forget? “
Everything was going pretty well. No war, decent economy. One side held the other in check. Clintoon couldn’t push any radical liberalism. Slick also didn’t give the impression that he was out to get Americans like this radical nut in the WH does on a daily basis.
They simply weren’t looking to support anyone’s ideology 100%, especially when stuff was just humming right along.
Oh baloney
I agree with all Rush said and it was good to see him on a roll again.
Smart as Rush is, I’m afraid he is over-thinking things.
The problem is not just with the “American people and the electorate”, it’s with human beings. The fact of the matter is most people everywhere are political followers, always have been and always will be. Additionally, most people everywhere are politically ignorant, again, always have been and always will be. That doesn’t mean stupid, it means politically uninterested, naive and easily demagogued.
The very concept of understanding the “American people and the electorate” is impossible because it is ever changing - rapidly at some points in history.
Democracy of all kinds are messy systems, but still generally better than anything else. Unfortunately democracies, like other systems of governance, don’t last forever. Nothing lasts forever. Perhaps the best we can hope for is as our system eventually implodes, a very charismatic conservative leader or set of leaders (founding father types) are able to captivate the imagination of the masses, perhaps run a benevolent dictatorship for a short time to rewrite the constitution in such a way that federal socialism and judiciary power grabs are made impossible, and then return as quickly as possible back to being a democratic republic. Unfortunately, you never know who or what will motivate the masses - it is just as likely a majority of Americans will fall for the shtick of some radical leftists if/when the economy falls to ruins.
Never forget the “American people and the electorate” voted for FDR four times. FDR was a true socialist, just read his Second Bill of Rights for confirmation of what he really believed.
For now we hold on to what we can, cast ballots against the worst politicians (which will almost always be the Democrat), and push very hard through the primary system to make the GOP, the only other viable party, more conservative. At the same time we must identify skilled, charismatic conservative politicians who actually stand for something and wait for our chance. Times change. As events unfold the best you can do is put your best guys/gals forward and hope to be at the right place at the right time, catch a big wave of public excitement and reshape the landscape with a big push towards conservatism.
For a more reliably lasting democratic republic, my feeling is we need to move away from the concept of universal suffrage. At minimum, if one is living off government handouts they should not be able to vote themselves some more goodies. This concept alone, which would be hugely unpopular at this particular moment in time, might one day be accepted by enough productive people with the means to make it part of any constitutional changes going forward.
He is right that Republicans don’t teach oe have a spine. They are Dem lite at this point.
Then why isn't the GOP rushing to address the southern border? In fact, reading in between the lines it looks like they're chomping at the bit to enact amnesty.
Why isn't the GOP working to end the NSA's domestic spying operations? In fact, they've made speeches defending the blatant fourth amendment violations.
Why can't they be bothered to vigorously pursue the IRS's political targeting?
Why can't they be bothered to vigorously push for a balanced budget?
Why can't they be bothered to oppose with manly firmness the invasions on the rights of the people
?
What exactly does the GOP stand for? As far as I can tell: nothing.
The GOP doesn’t have a campaign theme, they are being as silent as they can on the issues too.
I am now calling them the Pet Rock Party. They do nothing. They’re worth nothing. and they have no point.
.
I pray every day for a Revival. A turning back to God, a return to the Constitution and the vanquishing of the disease that is the demRINO agenda.
I was just going to post the EXACT same thing.
I made the big mistake of visiting my local Walmart on October 1st. The cast of characters streaming into Walmart to spend their Obamabucks was truly disturbing. As I was leaving, a group of six women in FULL BURKAS with a gang of kids were strolling in to spend our money. I don't live in a major city. Where are these people coming from?
