IMHO. Socialism is winning because there are no longer any signs of a living God to the majority of people in this country. And, when there is no higher authority than man, the consensus of man (government) becomes the ultimate authority and only logical place to look to solve all of our problems. Also, many people have subconscious guilt over divorce, chemical dependency, abortion, gluttony, waste and general hedonism, and in an attempt to assuage that guilt, they will support social programs that actually promote those very same vices for all. For example, if a person is twice divorced, on birth control and currently has a live in lover, on what grounds can they denounce gay marriage? The same goes for gluttony and waste. How can someone who eats far more than they need and wastes much of that, not support food stamps for others? I believe the guilt of their actions pushes them to support social programs that in reality make their actions more mainstream.
Satan?
“How are the Liberals winning, forcing their social agenda on America and winning elections despite an economy that employs only 60 million of more than 300 million and has 48 million on food stamps? “
That’s an odd question. More people on food stamps than productively employed is exactly how the liberals are winning.
“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” - Benjamin Franklin
Actually, a lot of “Americans” are lazy and if something is free they’ll go that road and scam the system to the max. Our schools have not taught American individualism and there’s no motivation to get way ahead, just to get along.
TL;DR
they rely on the good will and tolerance of conservatives
the solution is obvious:
stop tolerating them
stop hiring them
do not frequent their shops
do not associate with them, family or not
shun them from society
live your life with the people you want to live it... and do not tolerate those trying to destroy it
Set for December 7th at Mount Vernon VA, the assembly will discuss the parliamentary rules to be followed when a state amendment convention is called.
Both the date and location are historically rich. The first Mount Vernon assembly in 1785 set off events that culminated with ratification of the constitution.
THIS IS HUGE!!! A second American Revolution—without gunfire, without violence, just as the framers intended.
The first commandment of the 10 commandments is being ignored.
You nailed it. (Replace the article with this comment. It get’s the the point faster.)
Keep an eye on Chesea, said back this past September both her and her husband are working come next year to begin a family.

Before Richard Mourdock was ran out of town for standing up against infanticide, they were running commercials non-stop claiming he believed Social Security is unconstitutional (which it is.). I believe they were on to something with some so called conservatives.
Well simply put, we conservatives are full of ourselves and think merely having the sane positions, venerating the Constitution, and assuming Jesus is on our side is enough to win by default with little effort past that. We’ve been told that conservatism “wins” every time it’s articulated....until it doesn’t, and then we blame RINOs, Libertarian spoilers, voting fraud, and bash the candidate as not doing ABC. We seem so shocked at how hard elections are because our two examples always seem to be 1980 and 1984, like that is the standard we should expect every time.
Most conservative parents don’t fight the junk their schools expose to their kids. Many of us gladly spend money on products that enrich left-wing companies. We suck at alternative programming on TV/Movies. Many on our side eschew internet activism. We make mediocre alternative news sites to capture the low info voter. Far too many of us wish for a complete collapse and a shooting war because it would be “easier” than actually fighting in the arena of ideas/entertainment.
But we own AM talk radio....
The list goes on and on.
So true. I enjoy RINO hunting as much as the next guy, but I could accept one IF I could be assured that they were only playing the slow, reverse incrementalism game like the socialists are so good at. Unfortunately, I know they are not that organized.
Yes,and who elects the proponents of all this,over and over and over?
The Conservative fails to realize that in these times the normal political processes no longer work. Until we change we will be kept around solely to amuse the left.
Nobody in a red state has to accept a RINO as their candidate for senate or house. The blue staters have a problem but I can understand as VA is turning more blue by the day.
Socialism is winning because conservatives appear to have no interest in the arts. Hollywood is bashed here on FR. Liberal arts degrees are mocked. Sociology is made fun of. The entertainment industry has been ceded. How many of you encourage your children to get journalism degrees? Education degrees?. The entire propaganda machine has been handed to the socialists while conservatives pat themselves on the back for having “real jobs”. . Well congrats you blue collar morons and you Corporate idiots out there. applaud your conservative self for “being your own boss” and “running your own business”. Big deal. Your country has been stolen and we allowed it.
We allow foreign troops train on the land they will begin their invasion.
No Yuki ... over by THAT rock ... see the one jagging up to the left? .. Yeah ... THAT one ... OK ... mark it down ...
"Socialists have a herd mentality. It is easy to round them up to vote, protest, etc., whatever their "leaders" want.
Conservatives are, by nature, independent. They can't be bused in for protests. It is not easy to organize conservatives into groups. But, if there is a common purpose of goal, they will be active."
I will not be bussed in, I will unite with Patriots.
I'm gonn'a work on that ... thanx.
