That is what was said to African Americans for 90 years, 30 years at a time.
I'm curious Xiph; exactly what did you do to 'earn' your rights?
I'm pretty sure "Stop being so uppity!" is the operative sneer of contempt at any historically marginalized group that has the audacity to, you know, demand that the governmental marginalization stop.
This suggestion pops up from time to time but you wont see the GOP move on these issues since a big part of their voter base are cultural conservatives (what used to be called the "Religous Right") , or "values voters", who would be lost or at least put into play if they move to the left on gay rights &/or abortion.
When I say put-in-to-play, it means if you have two candidates who are, say, pro-gay, that means that issue is off the table and the voter will start to consider other issues, which might make them actually vote for the Dem.

I am sure there are many like you. I have young grandkids, they are all Republicans and believe pretty much like you. I think there are more out there than a lot realize, they just don't speak up as much...
The GOP would be hard to beat if they dropped the focus on social issues and loony economic theories.
and what would you suggest they do, all come together and share the views of the Democrats? If they do, what you say, based on your opinions they would not be much different from the left. As for focus on social issues, everyone should drop them when it comes to national elections...Loony economic theories, give some examples.
