Can someone explain to me why the Republicans/Conservatives are so worried about the future?
Um, the future belongs to everyone.

Yes, that is a common misconception held by the blissful, the ignorant, and the blissfully ignorant.

Well, you thought wrong, probably because you were misled by propaganda artists here. Here is the reality for those who are blissful, ignorant, or blissfully ignorant.

You lost 330,000 jobs in September. How stupid is it for people to keep saying "33 consecutive months" (or 27 or whatever) when it is not true?

Your economy is not improving. Your GDP declined for two consecutive quarters, and lost quarter your payroll declined as well.

Because your economy is masked by the fact that your government is deficit spending $30 to get a $1 increase in GDP; because your Federal Reserve is now pumping $40 Billion per month into your economy in addition to what your government is spending; because you had to reduce the FICA payroll tax 2% --- which was incredibly stupid; because your OADI Trust Fund is going to fail and create a drag on the OASI Trust Fund; because the HI (Medicare) Trust Fund is going to fail in about 4 years from now; because you're going to have to abandon the FICA payroll tax cut, which will reduce household income; because you're going to have to raise FICA/SECA taxes to cover Social Security; because you're going to have to raise the HI (Medicare) tax to cover Medicare or cut Medicare spending 17%; because Obamacare will result in a redirection of household income away from the economy into the health care sector and because there are many other problems, including your National Debt and your personal income taxes.
We'll see how optimistic you are 2 years from now.
Because I have a 3 year old granddaughter who I would like to have a debt free life and not be excessively taxed. Hopefully she will have the same opportunities as I've had in life.
Liberals truly do not see any problem with an extremely high and rapidly rising national debt. They are usually not educated about world events and unaware that extreme debt is causing problems in other countries like Greece and Spain, and if they have heard of that, they think the USA is immune and no amount of debt could be a problem here.
Conservatives make up nearly half the country, sweetheart. You can't infringe on our rights either.
So are you saying that conservatives are worried about the future because two guys or two gals can marry? What rights do you lose exactly because of gay marriage? I want you to be specific. What are you prevented from doing if gays get married that you could do before?

I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about the left wanting to control our lives, take away our religious rights, control the private sector, make all our other choices for us besides abortion, take away our gun rights, tell us where to live, stifle our free speech, etc.
