“I choose to believe that conservatism is on the ascendancy, as evidenced by Scott Walker in Wisconsin.”

—The problem is, despite all their talk, many Republicans in office are very cowardly creatures. They see what Palin, Walker, and the WI GOP went through, and they would rather duck under the table than personally face that kind of heat.

They confuse speaking out in a confident, assertive tone with being rude and arrogant.

Until more realize this, it will be a long, difficult battle that may not be winnable.

But if this really the end, what potential solutions exist? Doesn’t “the end” mean it is all over?

Too much defeatism and whining. You’re right. Some folks need to get a backbone and a grip on reality. They sound more like the wet Left than people who descended from the Founding Fathers.

The dumbass “end of America” threads have been around FR since I joined in ‘99. Nothing new.

Best to just ignore the malcontents and remain optimistic.

Besides if its the "end of America" then that is simply an opportunity to build a better country next time, exclusing the west coast asylum and eastern socialists.

Exactly!

I think you’re reading too much into what most people understand as hyperbole.

I think people who put pineapple in chicken salad are whack.

Oh, and while we're at it, pineapple doesn't belong on pizza, either.

>>>Im optimistic about my pessimism

Is that like being ignorant about indifference - or indifferent about ignorance?

Don’t know - and don’’t care? :)

I believe your vanity is in response to my vanity. I think you misinterpret my intentions. It was not about hand wringing or crying- just an attempt to discuss current events and the proliferation of evil into this society. I was simply seeking those who felt some things were awry.

If it is too depressing just don’t read it. Mosey on down the road, you seem overly upset about it.
