The 2004 presidential election highlighted the power of the social (moral) issues. The left thinks that the country is now going over to their side. They think they have us on the run and we will become a Euro-socialist state. But they have a surprise in store for them, because all of these outrages that we are seeing whether it is the attacks on Carrie Prejean or the rush to pass gay marriage in several states, just makes the real America more resolved. It makes us dig in our heels and many people who were on the fence are seeing how truly degenerate some parts of America has become. This does not result in more “tolerance”, quite the opposite, it only fills people with disgust and outrage. Many people who were lukewarm on moral issues as now seeing what it looks like when our basic moral foundation is attacked. They are very disturbed by what they see.
