This is why the left is void of anything resembling principles.

Conservatism rests directly upon bedrock principles, immutable, unchanging and uncompromising.

Moderates (Leftists) will do what moderates do and move ever farther to the left, but that is what independent, moderate, centrist, secular progressives are... so that serves reason. Americans do not rely upon leftists; we realize that these people are the problem and any accomplishments which laed to good will be despite the left and never, EVER, as a result of them.

When it's all said and done... Post the leftist revolt, Conservatives will begin America anew, without the dead weight of the ideological left to run it down and undermine our culture.
congrats, sis. ya peaked! roflnmaosdsfzzd

Conservatism may not be dead all together.

But it certainly is dead from mainstream politicians and the Republican Party.

Here we find that the leftist feels that because Conservatism is not being Heralded by the media that it is out of the mainstream. The simple fact is that the majority of the United States and ALL Americans are conservatives.

It's a rare day when being right is popular. Popularism comes behind the elixir of an easier way and a faster way.

Conservatives are ANGRY that so many of them they sent to DC to govern were not up to the challenge and in the end simply went weak kneed and soon began to appease leftists, trying to become popular.

In the next generation the US will realize Federal bankruptcy. At that point the leftists that depend upon what becomes an even more bloated, ineffective, money burning government, will have lost the means to fend for themselves; their individual human rights conceded to government which could never have possibly lived up to its promises; they will be destroyed as hey rise up and destroyed without mercy, without quarter and without shame of the carnage, in that they will have brought it onto themselves...

Then Conservatives, Americans... freed from the dead weight of the ideological left, will begin to rebuild the nation, beyond its former greatness and on the principles which saw it to that greatness and always will.

Conservatism IS those principles... It is reality, which cannot, thus will never be destroyed.

Get off your high horse of poster critiquing and 'leftist' analysis. It comes from every single one of your respones and is grossly repetitive.

Conservative America is a pipe dream (at least to the extent of a conservative government). I long for it. But it ain't happening any time soon brother.

America IS Conservative skippy... What the left does as it falls from America has no bearing on America. It is merely the result of a decaying culture brought on by the massive infection of a lethal cultural virus.

But don't worry little lady, you're leftists and failure is what ya do best... Its all ya do... and when ya fail next time... it's over.


And I don't know where you got the idea that you're an American, but you've been grossly misinformed. You're a Moderate and moderates are merely Leftists without that essential element necessary for commitment... and sis, THERE ARE NO LEFTIST AMERICANS!

Do you read posts? Or did you miss that part where I said I longed for a conservative government in America?

The American government is not conservative by any means.

And I'm not a lady.

My honest answer to you is that it is not Conservatism that will be going away. It is the Bushnevik brand of Neoconservatism that is about to bite the dust. And for true Conservatives, that is great news. We will finally have our party back from the parasites that infested it.

1) One of the conservatives who responded never contributes anything to a single discussion other sticking to radical partisanism that is completely devoid of thought or logic. Every single response in all threads are virtually identical and never contribute to a productive discourse.

2) For those who chose to actually read the article, it is a collection of the thoughts of conservatives. Buchannon, Frum, Will, Dowd, Lowry, etc, etc.
Aside from the last 2 pages, it is just a summary of their thoughts on the decline of the Republican party. So dismissing the article as liberal bias, seems premature, as the vast majority of the article is from conservatives.

3) For he who suggested it should be titled fall of Republicans, I think I might agree but need further thought.

4) Some of the quotes I thought were closest to the overall thesis:
Quote:
The conservative movement lost its raison d’ętre with the end of
Quote:
Communism and never got it back
the Party has lost the middle class by ignoring its sense of economic insecurity and continuing to wage campaigns as if the year were 1980, or 1968.
Quote:
There are things only government can do, and if we conservatives wish to be entrusted with the management of government, we must prove that we care enough about government to manage it well.
Quote:
Evangelical churches are concerned about the environment; businesses worry about health care; white working-class voters are angry about income inequality
I think the point of the article is that Conservatives are ignoring the concerns of not only the majority of Americans, but of their own consituents. Thusly, they are losing ground to Dems who are taking up these issues which are becoming more relevant to working class Americans, than gays and interventionism.
