What do you want America to look like in 30-50 years?
The Conservative Beacon ^ | Conservative Beacon

Posted on 04/04/2013 7:03:57 PM PDT by Conservative Beacon

I have not posted here in a while, but I wanted to reach out to my fellow freepers for your views on a very important topic: the future of America.

We know our current situation and its continued decline should the course not be altered. I am interested in what America will look like in 30-50 years should we reverse our current course.

So I am curious as to what that America looks like to you. What is your dream, best case scenario 30-50 year vision of America, all facets-overall culture, education, media, government, etc?

Voting Republican certainly doesn't move the country toward conservatism.

The Social Security is strong with this crowd.

No one has repealed the Law of Self Interest.

Seniors represent a huge and growing percentage of our voters. I think we have to expect them to vote themselves goodies.

The other side of the coin might be termed the Rate of Decay for this generation of seniors. How long will it take?

"Then said I, 'Lord, how long?' And He answered, 'Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, and the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.'"
(Isaiah 6:11-12)

God will surely harvest this crop, with a vengeance!

California is gone forever, and cannot change in a “blink of an eye”>

California did not become permanently liberal because the voters are going through a cycle, it went blue because the original voters have been replaced by permanent liberal voters who have no cultural or historical interest in our past America and identity, and reason for existence and concepts of freedom and individuality and social conservatism.

There is no cycle coming up, these are new people, a different people, than those WASPs that ran LA and California and made up the electorate.

Your posts aren’t making sense, dedicated democrat voters will not be making up for the lack of conservatism among the republican voters.

So you think the problem with America is the republican voters, and that the democrat voters will fix America?

What changed Russia into the CCCP? Mexican immigrants? No...

What changed the CCCP back into Russia that has churches and prays and bans queer parades? Old people collecting state checks? No.

All people, everywhere, want freedom and will tend that direction.

I want a place where citizens understand and accept the responsibility required to earn freedom and leave everything better than they found it.

I just pray Jesus returns before this spiraling ride hits the ground, otherwise once America gasps its last breath, this world will be plunged into a dark age that will make the last dark age seem like a golden age.

There are other solutions to the problem that your limited republican/democrat view.

Those solutions will probably be the ones that work out in the end. Compare and contrast to the fall of the Soviet Union. Who could have predicted how that happened. Even today, it reads like bad fiction.

Huh?

You think that when white voters die off that the immigrants and their offspring will suddenly reverse themselves and start voting conservative?

I have no idea what you are trying to say, do you ever look at the demographics of voting, or HOW state after state, city after city is swallowed up by the left?

True. And they will vote themselves goodies from the blood and treasure of future generations as they sit in their easy chairs, watching television and griping about the younger generation.

It's an old story written in fresh blood.

Revolutions, whether violent and peaceful, major changes, are possible and happen all the time in other countries. Too many Americans are complacent, too many, also here, believe that we are the so-called end of history, a political system perfected once and for all sometime in the late 18th century. That is what our children learn in school. No citizens of any other country think that of their own land. How many major changes have gone since that time in most countries of the world, Western or otherwise? How many have gone here? Zero, goose egg, we just slowly deteriorate, sink into the mud, and never to the point of an upheaval. That will continue, for as long as there is bread and the circuses play.

"Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter."
Isaiah 56:11

But, harvest time is coming. Of that we can be sure.

I watched while much of Europe and Asia was swallowed up by the left.

I lived long enough to see China figure out the Mao was full of crap. And Viet Nam would allow free markets because they couldn't stop them.

I lived long enough to see Russia return to Christ.

Voting is old school at this point. People are voting with their feet and their actions.

Governments aren't much more than tarted up protection/shakedown rackets that voting makes 'honorable'. Mainly so that social security and medicare and welfare keep flowing.

People get tired of that. They do their own thing and avoid the government crazies.

I have great faith in freedom. God gave it to us if we will take it. We don't have to be organized to be free.

“There was a time when reading wasn’t just for fags. And neither was writing. People wrote books and movies. Movies with stories, that made you care about whose ass it was and why it was farting. And I believe that time can come again!”

Gibberish as you are using it, so you think the problem with America is the republican voters, and that the democrat voters will fix America?

How do you look at people who love Obama to the tune of 66% and 77%, and proclaim them as the hope for our future, while attacking the people who vote against him as the obstacle to his supporters and the future political success that you hope for them?

Yes, I'm afraid you're right about that.

This crop of seniors will be long remembered as the generation that crippled and just about destroyed America. But, when they are gone, a free people will emerge and break free of their chains.

Fifteen things I would like to see 30 years from now:
  1. Occidental College extends its winning streak over Pomona to 38 games

  2. The seventeenth and twenty-third amendments to the Constitution have been rescinded

  3. The BCS has been abolished, to be replaced by the traditional bowl system

  4. The TSA has been abolished

  5. The Departments of Commerce, Education, Energy, Labor, Health and Human Services and Housing and Urban Development are history

  6. Walter Duranty's Pulitzer Prize has been rescinded

  7. Two powerful rivals to the NCAA have emerged

  8. Graduate students know that the American Revolution came before the Civil War

  9. San Francisco elects a Tea Partier as mayor.

  10. Across the bay, Berkeley sends a Goldwater Republican who is a decorated veteran of Korean War II to Congress. The president of the reunified Republic of Korea congratulates him.

  11. Terrorism abates as terrorists realize that they face a drum-head court-martial and summary execution if convicted

  12. The US patterns its immigration laws after Mexico's

  13. The federal government, as well as Britain and Australia pattern their gun control laws after those of Texas

  14. Organs and choirs are chasing electric guitars and drums out of the churches

  15. USC extends its winning streak over Notre Dame at 30 games

While your history of Europe and China is weird enough, you don’t seem to understand that the people who are the young in America, and who will be joining them by the tens of millions in the decades to come, are not conservatives, they don’t like conservatism and do not support it, and are destroying it.

Seriously, when you look at the demographics of voting, your hope for the future lies with the 66% and 77% Obama voters, and your enemy are those voting against him?

This is mind boggling, how will the Obama voters lead us to utopia after the anti-Obama voters are dead?
