I would be willing to bet that NONE of their predictions
turn out the way they think.
Tet68's prediction is one I would agree with. I would add an 11th prediction: the Dallas Morning News will cease to exist.
The trouble is, the GOP aristocracy buys into the notion that this crap is "inevitable" as well.
Some will, some won't, some are already here (how quaint the idea of monogamy - very few actually practice it outside of marriage, and marriage does not calm the urges either).
They have already been surprised how demographic changes have not favored liberal point of view.
Liberals and their constituencies have aborted a lot of Democrat babies; they have elected not to have many if any children and not to hold marriages together beyond the first child; they have encouraged the immigration of Latinos, who initially registered Democrat, but on the long haul may feel more pull toward family values, Catholic religion, and setting up their own businesses.
And the children of the Parentless Generation may come to resent that they barely escaped being aborted by their self-consumed "parents".
Yup, you may win your bets. Doubt I'll be here to see it, but can pray for it no matter where I am.

Yeh, predictions are like assholes, everybody's got one.
OR the way they WISH is more like it.
Sanctity of life-- American conservatives have for several years been in the awkward position of defending a federal funding ban on creating new embryos for research that prevents U.S. scientists from leading an area of biomedical research that could revolutionize the treatment of many common diseases. When they are honest, conservatives acknowledge that giving up some medical advances is simply the price to be paid for doing the right thing. This is fast becoming an untenable position, especially with the advance of cloning technology.
I'm all for medical research, whatever sort private industry can support. As for federal funding of it, cut it off completely. Not from a moral standpoint as much as a fiscal standpoint. But leave it to Republicans, if they know of a way to waste money, they'll be at the forefront calling for it.
Political parties
Can anyone truly disagree the two parties aren't just different facets of the same party? They no longer argue over issues, but rather over the level of how much money they should waste.
Doctor's offices
Have you seen the bathroom accesories you can put in your own house now? The doctor can actually see your symptoms without you even having to leave your house.
Sovereignty
Well the national government destroyed that of the states already in our own nation. It's not such a big step to assume that our own leaders, Republican or Democrat, will gleefully hand it over one day
