What trend am I talking about? That would take volumes. But here is a sample, discussing the homosexual agenda, that I posted three years ago (so the time frame in the comment is now three years older). And people who simply state that they believe that homosexuality is wrong are increasingly being fired, fined, kept from graduating from college, and jailed. If you don’t understand that trend (which would require another volume) you need to get up to speed on it and multitudes of others in our culture. Unfortunately, much of the recent trends have taken place with Republican approval and even complicity. But that also is another story. Here is one snippet, from three years ago, of one trend:

“Forty-seven years ago, homosexual behavior was not legally endorsed anywhere in the United States. Five years ago, it was still illegal in thirteen states. Now, due to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, it is legal in all fifty states.

“Nineteen years ago, homosexual civil unions were not legal anywhere in the world. Eight years ago, homosexual civil unions were not permitted anywhere in the U.S.

“Seven years ago, homosexual marriages were not legal anywhere in the world. Five years ago, homosexual marriages were not legal anywhere in the United States–nor anywhere else in the world outside of the Netherlands.

“Five years ago, there were no openly homosexual bishops sanctioned by mainline churches in the United States. Three years ago, even the European Union wouldn’t have threatened to revoke a country’s membership, as they are now doing with Poland, because of their laws against homosexual behavior. Until recently, no major American industrial giant like Ford Motor Company would donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to sponsor homosexual causes. Until recently no one would have thought that there would be a camp limited to homosexual teenagers that was designed to encouraged them to become homosexual activists, as is the case with the Triangle Foundation’s Detroit-area camp. Until recently no head of a major denomination would have said that it is not a sin to be a homosexual, as Jefferts Schori of the Episcopal Church recently did. Until recently no one would have imagined that a school district would require posters even in kindergarten and first grade classrooms, as was done by the San Leandro, California school district, that highlight the words “lesbian”, “gay”, “bisexual”, “transgender”, and “questioning”.”

Read your comment again. You said the following...

First of all, I do not agree that Romney agrees with 85% of “our” position. But, even if he did, the inexorable trend is our bigger problem. Even if Romney agrees with 85% of our position, the trend means that the next President will agree with 75%, then the next one with 50%, and the next one with 35%.

Your comment implies that the last president, or the last Republican president, or the last Republican nominee agreed with our positions 95%.

McCain, Dole, Bush and Bush II weren't ninety-five percenters. There is no trend as you describe.

Do you realize that if obama is reelected, we will likely never be the same country again? Do you think we have the luxury to take that chance?

If The United States Constitution, as interpreted by the SCOTUS in a 5-4 decision in the case of “Obama versus Almighty God”, is proclaimed null and void will the Articles of Confederation be dusted off and implemented as the once defunct but now refulgent law of the nation in observance of the sacrosanct English Common Law concept of stare decisis?

Stare decisis is not just a legal concept for today's world you know...and as America ends I will encourage my new nation my state my South Carolina as under the Articles to furiously print our money and to quickly furnish our military with the tools of defense in case the North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia barbarians rush our gates..
