You know: mainstream, centrist, traditional American values.
From Left to right (1) being far left (10) being far right. With Republicans being (10), and Democrats being (4) Where do you position yourself on the scale? Our result show that more Americans feel that they are closer to a Democrat then a Republican.
Mainstreet voters are usually standing on the sewer cover.
I had a conversation with Galston once when he was the “families czar” during the Clinton administration. He was a sneering intellectual then, and he is a head-up-the-ass intellectual now. He apparently believes that by reducing the immorality of Democrat platforms to statistics, he can help develop a convincing strategy so that the Democrats’ murdering fascism will not look like it is. What lies can they possibly tell to dress up turds like wealth redistribution, death panels, homosexual indoctrination, religious persecution of our founding legal framework, and apologies for our past success under those principles and laws?
Moron.
‘Scuse me!!??? the leftists have never HAD the political center!!
Pretty soon, there may be no political center. Middle of the road Republicans are run over repeatedly.
Many, many years ago, I registered (for the first time) as an independent. Although I sided with the left at the time, I was put off by the actions of the radicals during the ‘68 democrat convention. I knew things were changing. I just didn’t know, then, how much and how far it would go. The birth of my children, and my interest in learning about the education system began my long trek towards conservative sanity. The Roe decision in ‘73 further deepened the gulf between me and the left.
I began to realize that, sooner or later, what I knew personally about those deeply involved in the left wing, and what they believed, and what they wanted would HAVE to surface. The election of Obama was that final “brick” in the wall. And so, here it is. They are exposed. What I KNOW they never counted on, was the absolute horror of the American people when they were finally shown WHAT leftism IS, and what it means for the future of our kids and country.
Leftism, as we know it now, is no different from the leftism people experienced under Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and all the way back to Robespierre. It is evil, oppressive, destroys everything it touches. It has no loyalty, and it elevates none. It encourages hatred of the “other”- meaning those who disagree. It loathes the Constitution as a document giving governance to people that the left believes “incapable”. I celebrate those Americans who have awakened to this evil and now stand ready to fight it.
Democrat hopes rest with growing the underclass, uncontrolled immigration of massive low-IQ and low-educated populations into the US, legalizing the illegals and forced indoctrination of children in government schools.
On that score, they have grounds for optimism in the medium and long term, especially if the Republican Party continues to select open-borders advocates as leaders.
I am currently writing a book about this very thing. It is info about why I left the Democratic party and is titled, “I Am No Longer A Democrat”. Hopefully, it will be available on Kindle within a week or so.
This from a liberal think tank is amazing. Of course, it’s far worse than he admits for the Democrats. They could be reduced to a permanent minority party or even disappear.
