Giggle, snort and chuckle over this all you want to; dismiss it as just another rightwing tirade. Go ahead; I’m right and you know
You want to know why the Left lost the last two elections despite the fact that GWB is considered in many circles to be something of a lightweight? Because Gore and Kerry were just too far left for the common man to relate to, that’s why. Cry foul all you want about voter manipulation and stolen elections, but that’s why it happened.
You Lefties want what you fear most to come to pass? You want the Right to dominate this country completely? Keep on doing what you’re doing, that’s all.
Every year, you drift more and more to the Left; many of you advocate a Hydra-headed Big Government that sticks its business in everyone’s nose (something you seem fear when it comes from the Right during times of crisis, however; then it’s "Big Brother" or an imperial dictatorship or some other nonsense).
You continue to support causes that most of the average people in America do not (abortion, legalization of drugs, anti-gun actions, etc.). You want to distribute more and more of the pie to those less fortunate (a not ignoble ideal, done correctly) by taking more and more of that same pie from people who earned it and resent losing it.
Keep doing what you’re doing, and you’ll see a conservative backlash happen again and again, just like 1980 and 2000. Thing is, you’ve gotten worse since 2000, since the security measures that were implemented after 9/11. How you chafed under them! The fact that they didn’t really have all that much effect on anyone’s rights or personal freedoms and didn’t turn the US into an oppressive fascist state cut no ice. It was the fact that they COULD have!
The farther Left you drift, the closer you come to Socialism, the more average Americans will recoil. The more the Right actually will come to dominate.
You want to make America stable and just again? Want to put people like Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter and Glenn Beck out of business? Maybe start challenging the Republicans again, get them out of office?
Pull back a little; start drifting back toward the center, where most of America is or wants to be. You’re just not appealing to us; all the free candy and treats you keep offering the common man doesn’t matter one whit when the common man knows he’s the one ultimately paying for it.
This country used to run better. There wasn’t the enormous divide between Right and Left that there is now. We used to be better at compromise and negotiating for the good of the country rather than for the good of "our side" and our agendas. We need to get there again, and the only way to do that is if both sides come back toward the middle of the road. Since it’s obviously the Left’s ideals that appeal less to the average Joe than the Right’s, it should be you. Sorry, but that’s the way this particular pastry is disintegrating. You folks take the pressure off; stop turning government into a competition, and we’ll drift back, too. But you first!
