America’s Long, Painful Slide to the Left
Patriot News Daily ^ | 22 June 2015

Posted on 06/23/2015 4:50:51 AM PDT by HomerBohn

All across the political blogosphere, you can read endless inquiries into the oncoming demise of the Republican Party.

As far as the intellectual elite are concerned, the GOP will be doomed by polarization. The top representatives have supposedly moved so far to the right that they will soon be a non-factor in national elections. The scary thing about this analysis is that it may well be correct. In a way. Because conservatives do have a problem, and it is that the country is moving slowly but surely to the left. And Democrats are way out ahead of the curve, dragging the populace behind them.

Hillary Clinton has already come out with positions that make Obama seem like a moderate. Positions that her husband would have opposed in the mid-90s. She feels comfortable taking these positions because she knows there has been a culture shift. The question is whether or not this shift is inevitable. Is there such a thing as “too far left?” It’s up in the air. A recent poll showed that more young Americans than ever before preferred socialism to capitalism.

In such an environment, it’s only natural that conservatives should feel concerned. But you don’t have to study the polls. You need only take a look around. We now live in a country where the right to free speech only stands when it aligns with liberal thought. Where businesses can be ruined if they refuse to bake a gay wedding cake.

Where politicians have no problem aligning themselves with criminals over the cops. Where it’s enough to simply say, “Yeah, we should have a $15 an hour minimum wage,” even if there is no economic theory in the world that supports such a move. The truly frightening part of this is that the left is ever in search for a new fight. Any conservative who thinks the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage will be the end of the LGBT battle is dreaming. Liberals need an oppressor to fight or they wither and die. So we’ll soon see where that leads us. The safe bet is that we are not far from politicians proposing “hate speech” laws, criminalizing any who might speak out against homosexuality.

In a worst-case scenario, we might see the legalization of polygamy. In fact, that’s not hard to imagine at all. Don’t count on the left to reign it in. They aren’t fighting for a better America. They are fighting against the conservative establishment that built this country. They won’t be satisfied until the ideals of the Founding Fathers are as buried as their corpses.

We must reign it in ourselves by getting behind cultural influences that better reflect the real America. Supporting films with a positive, wholesome message. Voting for politicians who can explain why liberalism is a one-way road to oblivion. And above all, demonstrating that conservative values are not synonymous with intolerance.

They make sense, that’s all. And that ought to be enough.

Fifty million foreigners from socialist hell holes, brought into the country in just the last 25 years. Right there is the problem.

Those 50 million new “Americans” are nearly all democrat voters. Nothing we do now can stem the tide. The USA is already finished. Many just don’t realize it yet.

I can imagine worst cases far, far worse than that.

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion.

You can check that one off your list. (see: Francis, Pope)

I am all too familiar with young adults in the work force. No discernible work ethic, not much in the way of ethics or morality. Thoroughly inculcated in soft marxism from preschool. Extraordinarily lazy as they never even worked at playing. Just sat and moved their fingers.
Saying “not really” is not an argument.

Our Founding Fathers would be shuddering at what their nation has become. In fact, they would long ago have been reaching for their muskets and taking the fight directly to these fools and tyrants.

The Left has ruined America. We will soon resemble Mexico.

Everything emanating from the central socialist government headed up by a foreign exchange student is illegal and punishable by a fine and a prison sentence.

Trash all legislation puked out after 1912.

Rearrange the entire system of courts, so they make more sense. Limit terms of all Congressrats as well as those assorted lesbians and pansies (with few exceptions) that squat and nap on the Supreme Court bench.

Thanks HomerBohn. A good suggestion. Here’s another…

DEFUND/DISMANTLE socialist/totalitarian collectives, agencies, NGOs, etc., etc.…foreign and domestic. We can start here…(pick one - any 1, or 10, or 15)

http://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

DEPOPULATE socialists/collectivists/totalitarians from the body politic…some here…

......Or when they go out into the “real world”, when REALITY begins to bite them.

you mean ‘reality’ like when they go to work in the corporate world...the same corporate world that is falling all over itself to prop up same sex marriage and grabbing the Confederate flag...?

is that what you mean by ‘reality’...?

For now that, for now, all that is going down the memory hole.

Dismantling means ripping out the phones, routers and computers. Stripping the offices bare of all furnishings and firing all employees.
