Do you get a sense in this forum that right wing ideology has jumped the shark? (polls, racist)

[padcrasher]

I've been here for years and I'm just starting get a vague sense that right wing ideology is on the decline. Right wing posters aren't as unified anymore. Maybe some are learning they've been taken for a ride? They seem less numerous, and more elderly every year. The real dead enders, (birthers, Obama conspiracists, crusty old farts accusing liberals of being "communists") are on the borderline of being considered outcasts by what's left of mainstream conservatives. This just goes beyond the last election. I think time has finally caught up with this backwards ideology.

So is this becoming a liberal only forum ?

There's no fun when everyone agrees with everyone else.

I don't think that'll ever happen. The libertarian vs. conservative schism is growing wider every day.

No, not so much fiscally liberal. But slightly more populist, markedly less socially conservative.

I agree, maybe I should start some more threads to change the OP's mind since C-D is obviously a weather vain of the nation.

We are all one now.

Ooom, ooohm.

Not all that long ago we had stories about how Christie was dead in the water, done for. The last poll I saw had him around 74%. Recent polls have shown Raul Emmanual falling fast in the polls.

A bit too early to say, but it is less strident than in the last couple years.

I think they know the dog won't hunt.

It would be good to see more moderate conservatives reemerge. Then we could have a decent conversation without all the silliness (Example: RWNJ#1-Obama is the antichrist!!!, RWNJ#2-No way, he is Adolf Hitler!!!).

Ah, but Christie isn't a right-wing ideologue. By the standards of today's GOP he's somewhere to the left of Eugene McCarthy.

They're becoming more and more the minority and they know that hence they're getting angrier and angrier.

However, liberals control Media and the Youth Culture, which is what's really killing them.

People want to fit in, they follow what they feel is acceptable.

Conservatives, at least the far right are a dying breed... no more unity among them. Social pressures are forcing them to change.
