Of course, we might be too busy reloading soon after that...
Love is always the answer
Too many people are buying the media line of BS about Obama’s mandate.
The reality is that the GOP holds all 3 branches of government in 24 states and they are growing increasingly defiant of federal government. (democrats hold 13 states) We just passed right to work in Michigan for Pete’s sake and last week the governor placed further restrictions on abortion clinics.
No, the culture COLD war is over.
I’m not sure what your point is. The author is not suggesting we surrender, just pointing out that we can no longer get by defending our positions.
We have to counterattack and take back ground already lost to the enemy.
Recognizing that we are in the process of losing is the first step in analyzing what is necessary to turn things around.
In a somewhat similar situation during WWII, Vinegar Joe Stilwell had to deal with his PR-types who tried to portray the retreat from Burma as something less than a defeat.
“I claim we got a hell of a beating,” Joe told the press. “We got run out of Burma and it is humiliating as hell. I think we ought to find out what caused it, go back and retake it.”
The culture wars is a low level skirmish and one they won.
They are wise to ensure conservatives stay in the low level skirmish with fantasies of winning.
I have seen it in my personal life, and I see it nationally.
If Obama crashes America, as it looks like he has been instructed to do, the Unintended Consequence will be a return to God and morality.
We simply got too fat to succeed.
RE: After 40 Years, Abortion Activists Losing
Well, here’s what I want to know... are the number of abortions in this country DECREASING? INCREASING? Or SAME AS BEFORE?
If it is either increasing or same as before, how are abortion activists losing?
Wrong! Baloney.
POLL AFTER POLL AFTER POLL has demonstrated that ON INDIVIDIDUAL ISSUES, MOST Americans go with conservatives - if ANYTHING, the percentages reflected on those issues indicate an INCREASE on many of them.
It would seem to me that MOST Americans have an issue with the REPUBLICAN Party as an alternative to the Democrats - or at least certain REPRESENTATIVES of the Republican Party.
AND, considering the IDIOTIC show in the Congress by them this week AND the idiotic performance of the majority of GOP representatives who re-elected the BONER who was RESPONSIBLE for MOST of the Republican missteps in Congress recently, CAN YOU REALLY BLAME THEM???
Democrats = EVIL
Republicans = VERY STUPID
Perhaps most people would rather go with evil than with the collection of morons represented by many of the Republican Establishment Drones.
I am 49, female, and have been married to the same MAN, for 25 years. We also do not cheat or carry on. Among the younger people I work with, my lifestyle is seen as quaint relic of the past. Most of them are either terminally single and sleep with whom ever comes along, divorced once or twice, divorced with kids, or with kids and never married, OR, in a homosexual relationship with or without kids, OR, in a faux marriage in which they live separate lives and date other people on the side, with full knowledge of each other’s adulterous behavior.
There ARE no traditionally married couples with over 1 or 2 kids. We are an anomaly anymore. I feel sorry for these people — but they have whatever it is they fought for. Trouble is, it really doesn’t look all that appealing, and many of them have confided in ME that they secretly envy my life.
And I tell them ...It didn’t come easy. Hubby and I fought, but we mended our differences and stayed together. We aren’t rich, we don’t party, our life is pretty routine ...but it’s a nice, warm, loving and secure relationship. Our kids do well. We have savings and a home. I don’t know what else to tell them ....none of them ever seem to want to get off the pot to create a decent life for themselves. They want to wallow in the smut because they like it ... they think it’s cool. They like partying and they like staying out all night and bragging about their exploits the next day.
I guess until it shows its really ugly end, we are going to go through a dark time in America - a morally dark time. I feel all I can do is continue to live the life I feel is best and pray for their conversion. I can’t control them, and neither does God try to either, it seems.
I think it depends on what your definition of “lost” is.
We either have to persuade people that we are right or prove Obama wrong. All economic common sense and history are on our side but Repubs are not making the case in a convincing way. Everything Obama says on the economy is nonsense and Repubs need to point that out loudly, publicly and repeatedly.
You can't even start until you clear the Marxists out of education.
Americans are a very funny lot.
They tell us that they want smaller government and claim that the Federal government is too big. Yet, when the time comes to CUT the federal budget, many start to scream and complain that the programs AFFECTING THEM will be cut. Result: Nothing gets cut.
They tell us that they find Congress UNFAVORABLE. Yet, when it comes to voting, they often re-elect their own congressmen anyway.
Conservatives supposedly outnumber liberals in this country by a huge double digit number. Yet, come election time, a huge number of conservatives stay home.
Praise GOD crip... and of course you are right!

See tagline.
I am sorry that you didn’t get my point but your last two sentences pretty much make me think that you did.

They keep hoping it is true
No need for caps bro.
$10 Trillion buys a whole lot of approval and ‘winning’.
It cannot be paid off. We all know how it ends -in catastrophe.
It’s hardly the time to stray or alight with fools.
