    The 65+ right wingers who are talk radio devotees and Fox News fans are still around to vote. But they are dying off as time is not in their side. The socially liberal shift and Obama's rise to power is all indication that America is moving past the socially conservative and old hat ways that enabled the Dixiecrats-turned-republicans to have any political strength.

    We all know the Tea Party is the last throws of the old guard who still remember America's simpler time.

    But the GOP is on it's way to becoming a regional party at best. What worries me though is the loss of fiscal conservatism which I believe is of value to our nation. But this will give way as Americans lump the idiotic social conservative agenda with a fiscal one.

    I think the GOP will have no choice but to ditch the far right and their social views if they want to be politically relevant.

    There wasn't life before the far right, and there won't be life after.

    They can hardly do otherwise, since the two are ultimately inspeparable.

    If I had to guess, I would guess that you go to work, and you go to the bar.

    What life existed before the far right is gone that will exist after?

    Life really isn't that substantial to begin with, unless you have a large brain.

    you said there wasn't life before the right and this is just idiotic.
    there was a right wing culture that won't exist after the right fades away, but life will still be here.

    What will happen is the Left will keep finding more things to have the government pay for. We will go deeper in debt and keep borrowing from foreigners, that this country will be nothing but a broken socialist country that has chased much of the rich out with tax increases and that will be a shell of what it once was. That is where this country is heading.

    I can easily illustrate it. Go to work all day get your pay, then give me 55% of your money. Ill spend it on things I need then Ill insult you. How you feel after that is how it is right now, when there is no right it will be 100 times worse.

    The Left reminds me of children who constantly want things given to them. They don't care if their parents can't pay for it. They don't care if their parents have to borrow to give them all the things they want as long as they get it.

    Yes, it's easy to be a Liberal. Who wouldn't want to belong to a party of constant give aways? Especially when your on the receiving end of it and you don't have to pay for it. Republicans are more like the parents. They want to provide for their kids and make their life better than they themselves had it. But being parents, they know giving kids everything they want isn't good for them. It takes away any incentive of doing for yourself. They know it's not good to keep buying more than you make and going heads over heals in debt. You can't run a house hold like that. What Liberal are hoping for is the day they can get rid of the parents and buy all they want with their charge cards. How long do you think that will last?

    Another poster post this a few days ago and it's right on target. If your not a Liberal when your young, you have no heart. If your not a Conservative when your older, you have no brains.

    Great analogy. Socialism is great until the money runs out. Liberals are 100% incapable of comprehending that the money well is finite.

    The right wing clings to the belief that their obsolete agenda of greed and intolerance can survive. But the generations born after 1980 have grown up experiencing the failed domestic and economic policies of Reaganomics with the hatred the growing income inequality they caused.

    Most members of these younger generations have rejected the conservative Christian teachings of racism, hatred of homosexuals and diversity, and selective applications of Bible verse.

    The young have always been the hope for the survival of societies, and the failure to understand the shortcomings and mistakes of their elders have doomed past nations steeped in conservatism and service to the wealthy aristocracy.

    The current version of U.S. conservatism has doomed itself, with the same mistakes made by intolerant, myopic conservative societies of the past. Only the clear-minded young generations can save this country from the mess created by the baby-boomer conservatives. These young people must consider the needs of their United States and repair massive damage done by their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

    If they follow in the paths of the previous generations, the U.S. will be extinct no later than 2035.

    I note that every time we see one of these threads, there is always lots of Liberals making obnoxious comments about what the "Right Wing" and the "Tea Party" is and is not, and equating the two as equal.

    Occasionally I see a true Right Winger or a TEA Patriot trying to explain what their movements and group actually represent, and they get told by the Liberals that they don't know what they're talking about, and those groups are defined by what the Liberals CLAIM them to be...

    The Lefties won't even accept the statement by BOTH the Right Winger and the TEA Patriot that they represent VERY different points of view, but rather the Liberals insist that the two are merged and inseparable.

    What an exercise in Stupidity, not worth the time and space on a Debate Forum.

    Sorry fella but Reagan left office with about 20 million jobs created. This economy began going down after we wrote up and passed NAFTA and Free Trade with few regulations or environmental regulations. It threw open the door to millions of good paying jobs leaving this country. Then we topped it off by forcing banks to lend money to buy homes to people who couldn't afford it, causing the banks to go under. You want to put all the blame on Reagan. Can't do it.

    You know nothing of Christianity if you think Jesus preached hate, or diversity. Christians don't follow the laws of the Old Testament. Jesus took the place of them and only preached love. Many people call themselves Christians and are not. The KKK cals themselves Christian, so did Hitler, they were anything but.

    Yes, lets look at the young of today. We have a nation of potheads who can't seem to exist without getting high.

    We have so many school shootings today that we no longer are shocked when there is 3-4 a year.

    We have so much trash being put out by the young. How about our rap singers that rap about killing cops and raping your own mother.

    We have gangs of youth going around in large numbers, ripping off stores of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. Shooting people walking down the street because they were board.

    We have kids in college who can't tell you the people we fought in WWII, or know how many stars are on our flag.

    We have the flower children of yesterday teaching our children values, what a laugh that is.

    Take a kids calculator away from them and they have no idea on how to make change.

    The Army had to switch to trucks with automatics because kids today can't drive a stick shift.

    Some of the greatest inventions of our time were done before most of you were born.

    If we are counting on a nation full of young pot heads for our survival, we're in bad shape.

    Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit there?

    That is the price of freedom.

    And there are plenty of great inventions and discoveries that have been made just in the last decade as well:

    If you're going to complain about something, why not complain about something that actually matters?
    Like how liberals are causing the utter and complete destruction of the nation through cramming O-care down our throats?

    you really need to step out of your liberal bubble and look around sometime
    their is only one social issue that the so called far right is on the wrong side of according to American sentiment conformed by many polls and that is gay marriage and that issue is at the bottom of most American concerns even after the exhausted effort of liberals and your lap dog media to keep it in the news as often as possible

    and im not so sure even if gay marriage is widely excepted as the media and polls claim it is because the vast majority of times it has come up as a public referendum vote it has failed only reason gay marriage is allowed in some states is because the court has allowed it not the people

    but lets look at polls on a social issues like abortion
    48% of America conceders them selves pro life 45% pro choice
    http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/Abortion.aspx
    liberals are on the wrong side of the abortion debate
    and from the poll did you realize that flipped from a year ago? how did that happen when social conservatives are dyeing out? could it be they are getting replaced by younger social conservatives in greater numbers?

    now lets look at the younger generation and Obama job approval

    Only 41 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds say they approve of the job Obama is doing, according to the Harvard IOP poll, down 11 percentage points from April. Fifty-four percent say they disapprove. It's Obama's worst showing in the survey since becoming president. What's more, a majority of 18-to-24-year-olds say they would recall (!) the president if given a chance.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...-have-bailed-on-obama-why-that-matters-a-lot/

    could it be the young are finally getting a hard earned education on liberal policies and the failure it is

    I as told that we need liberalism once in a generation to rear its ugly head so to remind us what a big failure it is so the new generation can see for them selves it doesn't work and ignore the propaganda that was forced fed them by liberal academia. the last generation we had Carter to remind us now this new generation has Obama to remind them

    I am not sure that any democracy is better off when someone's voice is silenced. It's a royal biotch sometimes, when you have people like the Westboro Baptist Church or the KKK or other hate groups spouting their views, but that's the price of freedom of speech. If we extend that argument to political parties, I don't think that if the GOP was marginalized that the country would be better off for it. This concept of government was supposed to be designed so that the majority party could not ride roughshod over the minority, cooperation and compromise was and is supposed to be the rule rather than the exception. It could be that if the GOP does disintegrate into a permanent minority that in the long run we'll all pay a heavier price.
