she’s right. trump and Cruz are far left of GWB. /ridiculous s for a ridiculous comment
The left is dying out and only succeeds on sustaining its numbers by corrupting others children to believe in their garbage.
Did you read the piece or just skim it? The author, David French, is saying that Beinart, the author of another piece said that....then French went on to say why Beinart is wrong. Thus the author of this piece is agreeing with you...
FReeper’s reading comprehension seems to be at an all time low lately.
The Left needs the Right to pay for its programs. The Right doesn’t need the Left for anything. This should scare the Left. The fact that it does not, is the Right’s fault.
Interesting article.
I think the article is most correct at the end. The problem isn’t that we’re a nation going in different cultural directions. The problem is that Tennessee would be quite content to let New York be New York, but New York will not be content to let Tennessee be Tennessee. And that’s been our biggest problem for more than a century.
And stuffing the ballot box with the dead vote, the felon vote, the alien vote, and the multi voter vote.
They own the gay vote, the wiccan vote, the druggie vote, the abortion vote, and the teen vote.
The right is not moving more right. It’s just that the left is moving so far left that the distance between the two is increasing. The right is digging in its heals, and is mad as hell and not taking it anymore. To the liberal media, that makes it look like we are moving right.
And that is the Big Lie, the great narrative deception practiced especially by the Left, but also by establishment Republicans.
The simple truth is, the real facts are: the Right has not moved, not now, not ever.
Indeed, that's why we are called "conservatives" because above all, we wish to conserve what is the best from our inherited legacy, i.e., the Bible, the Constitution.
So we don't move (much), not now, not ever.
Only the Left constantly moves changing positions like clothing fashions, they move from opposition to "don't ask, don't tell" to mandatory acceptance of any deviancy you can imagine.
In the mean time, Conservatives are just where we've always been, trying to conserve both our religious values and our Constitution.
So don't let them tell you, "the right is moving further right", we're not moving anywhere.
It's the Left which is going berserk...
With the probable exceptions of this cycle and George W., there is a Republican pattern: Bush was left of Reagan, Dole left of Bush, McCain to the left of Dole in many ways, and Mittens to the left of McCain. Even George W. is arguably fiscally fairly left, given that he had Congress and let deficits continue to roll.
I agree with this article and one of just a few reasons why I desperately fear for the republic. Personally, I think if the current ideological divide were also easily geographically divided (a la 1860), we would already be shooting. The only thing preventing it now is that we are all so interspersed with each other.
I do know quite a few former lefties who have snapped out of their hypnotic stupor after being unable to find a job and seeing how high the Obamcare premiums have risen. I sincerely believe far more have moved right than left the past few years; its just that the leftist MSM has control of the viewable content that we see on our TV and computer screens for the moment.
Agreed right.
And by helping other America Haters to stream through our open borders and join them in destroying the country.
A cultural and political divide this wide will only lead to the thing that always occurs...finally...bloodshed!
^ excellent articulation of the analogy.
Their strategy now is the mass importation of 3rd World vagrants and illegals.
With that in mind, they’ll soon have the numbers to beat us.
i’m referring to Beinart.
why did you assume otherwise?
Socialism: Look at all of the beautiful places to live that you'll never be able to afford because the rich own them.
Capitalism: One day you may also be one of the rich.
The left leaves out the fact that in socialism you will be living in a "project" and will own nothing especially not a gun.
actually, now sure why you assumed that AT ALL, except to back your second comment
