I do believe the country is lost (what America was envisioned to be by our Founding Fathers) and is drifting into 3rd world status with rich and poor (mostly poor) with almost no middle class save for government workers. Meanwhile, the homosexuals, illegals, and useless are cheering it on. Sadly, they won't like what happens next. Neither will the other 200 million or so Americans who let it come to this.
So what if the country's founding fathers came back today? They would surely be shocked and want voting rights taken away from women and slavery reinstituted.

When obama leaves office, they will say how strong and solid he made the economy and if it collapses will blame the new guy if it's a Republican or go back to the "Boooooosh!" mantra.
None of them make it strong, they only manage to screw it up.

But you are never going to understand, and I do not intend to waste time on you. The usual pattern of these things is that the left corrodes and corrupts the republic, and it falls to the right. So when it does happen, enjoy living under the next Cesar, Napolean, Hitler. It will be entirely the fault of you and those who think like you.

Out.
When all else fails, invoke Godwin's Law.

The people you mention only have regional appeal, in fact, no Republicans have had any real national traction for many decades, perhaps all the way back to Reagan. Americans took a chance with the 'new car smell' in 2000, and we are still trying to recover from it. That stench will linger for many more years, and there is no one on the horizon that will remove the stink.
You got that right.

Don't get me wrong- the Democrats are VERY flawed. But Republicans are TOXIC to anybody who isn't an angry, rural white male. What we're seeing here is the death throws of a hegemony that's NEVER coming back.

And Let Me Be Clear. I AM a rural white male. Thing is that I'm not angry. I'm EMBRACING the future. The future BELONGS to the urban. The not necessarily white. The not necessarily male. These are perfectly good people if you're willing to think outside the box and get to know them.

Or you can remain in denial... and the future's gonna happen anyway. You can CHOOSE marginalization. Or you can be an active part of the future. It's a no-brainer to me.

Gooooo Bama!

This x 1000. The truth is, when a Democrat is in office, the economy does well, when a Republican is in office, the economy does not. But what the GOP, and the elderly of POC want is a white man in office above all else. They don't care if he's a bunny boiler as long as it's a white man. They long for the days of Katrina.

I've come to think Bush was probably never even looking for bin Laden. Come on, seven years of war, he never gets him but Obama gets him halfway through his first term? As long as bin Laden was out there, Bush could keep the war going without end and Republicans had no problem with literally billions of dollars on pallets disappearing in Iraq.

Katrina? No problem for Republicans. Unfunded Medicare Part D costing billions? No problem for Republicans.

Reagan increased taxes almost every year he was in office and trickle down never trickled down.

This has been building for awhile, but I see a cognitive tyranny now that I've never seen before. It makes me concerned the country is already lost to progressivism and is on the road to self-destruction.
