The GOP may have died when Ike tried to out-Truman Truman and Nixon tried to out-Johnson LBJ. It’s never been able to sustain a long line of success that meant very much. Still I keep voting for it.

They sure know how to play us, between the RINOS and the “What’s the use” reaction which is very common among Republicans. The other side is extremely sly, they have been at this for generations and we are the rubes. I hate to say that but that is how we act some times. We have to get it through our heads that it is a battle of wits and we have to use ours.

Americans are very patriotic and trusting of our country and the sly foxes in politics have taken advantage of this. They have let it go on for many decades and finally we are realizing that we have let the fox guard the chicken coop. Finally most of the chickens are gone and we realize that we have been had but many people still don’t know HOW we have been had. We have to learn every trick that they use so that they cannot use it on us. Things are in dire straits but we have to stick with the only party that we have right now which is the Republicans. I pray to G-d that the Democrats will crash and burn and that we may be able to turn the Republican party around, but as it is, I have no loyalty to the Republican party because I can see that many of them are weasels too. I would love to be able to start a new party but that cannot be done until the Dems are buried with a stake through their hearts.

I have heard that many Evangelicals are not registered to vote. Guess, you can’t take anything for granted. If the churches did a really great get-out-the-vote campaign, that would put millions of new voters at the polls. The Dems are organized but we tend to be too casual about things, we need to get every vote that we can get.

LOL, we can take it for granted that the most conservative voters in America, the Evangelicals, turn out and vote conservative.

You sure post a lot of whiny nonsense.

No, I did hear on,I believe it was on a radio program that a large percentage of Evangelicals are not registered or they don’t vote. It surprised me too.

Yes, it’s true that Buchanan can’t know for sure what will happen in 10 years. I agree on that. But we can look at trends, and try to determine what is most likely to happen based on those trends.

You speak of the possibility that America will invite in right wing patriots from France, the Netherlands, and South Africa. Are you putting it out as a possibility that such groups will become a major source of future immigration? Surely not, as that is incredibly unlikely.

You say Buchanan relies on old facts, but the core truth behind his prediction remains; the United States is rapidly becoming less white, and that is bad for the GOP and conservatism, and good for the Democrats and liberalism. This change is due almost entirely to unending mass immigration, yet the GOP has neither the wisdom or courage to cut it off.

Do you deny that?

And while I am a pessimist, I am not a surrender monkey. In fact, I think Republican and conservative supporters of mass immigration are the true surrender monkeys even if they don’t know it, because allowing unending mass immigration is the same thing as surrendering.
