Countries under a socialistic form of government have maintained it for several decades with no real end in sight. I’m seriously concerned that, if the presently socialistic countries don’t even want to seriously try to move towards a capitalistic form of government, then how is the U.S.’s quick and ongoing move towards socialism really supposed to also be successfully stopped in its tracks?
Leftists, all over the world, have successfully dominated the mainstream media and government run public schools for a very long time, and worldwide political correctness and the worldwide “dumbing down” of the general public seriously continues to get even worse for everybody everyday, whether they really realize it or not. Too many of the world’s population are more concerned about keeping track of certain reality TV shows than they are of seriously trying to create a profoundly healthy political environment worldwide that also really last as close to forever as is humanly possible.
There are already way too many “politically stupid” people in the world and way too many “politically ignorant” people in the world, and it continues to get even worse for everybody everyday all over the world.
The world also continues to become even more secularized everyday, and, while too many world religions are continuing their profound decline in, both, support and people, at the same time, the Islamic faith is growing at a substantial rate all over the world. This worldwide Islamic growth also includes violent groups of Islamic extremest, who successfully create even more terrorists all over the world.
Conservatives will have to successfully get around all of these ongoing problems at the worldwide level and then also successfully maintain their political dominance for as long as humanly possible, if they are ever going to have any kind of actual, successful political comeback in the future. Actions will always speak louder than words, and neither my pessimism, nor the optimism of others will really result in any kind of success for worldwide conservatism, if no serious and successful actions are ever taken by the majority of non-leftists throughout the world and at any given point in the future.
How is even all of the “future damage” on all issues successfully created by leftists through past and present legislation supposed to be successfully ended for always? Even if leftists are ever successfully defeated in future elections, their “future damaging legislation” on all issues is still already in place anyways! How is the world supposed to ever successfully get out of their ongoing “leftist funk”?
Ah. Thank you combat_boots :-). I see we were thinking the same thing. You went that extra step you kind person you.
Actually, I am feeling rather optimistic.
Socialism always fails because it is fiscally unsustainable long-term. If you look at France's recent history, you will see that the government has tried to pull back on entitlements. Those efforts have failed because they have had those benefits for generations.
I think it's a good thing that we are rapidly going broke. A healthy American economy could have dragged out socialism for hundreds of years.
Rather, things are bad now, will continue to decline, and will not improve as government takes over more and more. People will see over the course of a few years that the government programs are not making anything better. But they will remember prosperity. They will remember having choices at the grocery store. They will remember all the goodies they bought with their credit while the economy was healthier.
They will be begging for change. Remember how upset people were with $4 per gallon gas? Remember the complaining about $4 per gallon milk? Double the price of most basic goods through inflation and people will be pissed.
The next dozen or so years won't be pleasant, but the change will be so rapid that I think it will work in our favor.
