Absolutely spot on correct!

If Conservatism is not taught, but rammed, it is dead. What we end up with are clowns carrying the Conservative flag, i.e. Trump and Cruz.

Conservatism is dying I don’t care WHAT happens in Nov. Not much longer and it will be gone unless we are something more than a screaming mob of ideologues.

Nicely said.

Is our primary process fair? Look at the precints in New York.....
District 15
Trump 636 3 delegates won
Cruz 251
Kasich 135

Now go to District 1......
Trump 37,137 3 delegates won
Kasich 8,772
Cruz 4,658

how is it possible that in district 15 .. around one thousand people get 3 delegates.....
....and................. in district 1.....50,000 people get 3 delegates????

The new Republican strategy for 2016 is to choose a Democrat as their nominee.

When things get bad enough they have to turn around. The bad news is it has to get really really bad before most free loaders will quit the freeloading system.

GW Bush expanded the problem by giving more welfare in the tax code. First we need to get rid of the tax code as it is today. Get rid of the IRS.

But to make real reforms we need to go back to states electing senators not the people. I know this is a shock to some but this is why our states are getting creamed by the federal gov’t. The Senators were supposed to watch out for the states but when we started direct election of senators that all went bye bye. Direct Democracy isn’t necessarily a good thing. There’s a reason our founders put in the electoral college and had states choose the senators.

“The Dems are aggressively expanding their pool of likely voters. And for the last few decades, up to the present day, the republicans say next to nothing about it. “

Trump IS expanding the pool of voters who will vote Republican. Just the GOPe, instead of being happy about it, wants to stop it.

GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.

See:

“I don’t see a future for conservatism unless there is a paradigm shift in thoughts and attitudes. The momentum for change as I can see it, is all leftward.”

I agree with most of what you said. We past the point of no return probably when 9/11 happened, maybe sooner.

We’re simply following the model Aristotle where Republics turn into Democracies which then turn into Despotic Tyranny Hell-holes. Immigrants and the parasites our social system supports don’t care about our past or values. They want “stuff” and lots of it. Some might have a change of heart and become American in the old way, but I’m not that optimistic. Today we replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Tomorrow, Washington with Obama or MLK. Ben Franklin with Cesar Chavez?

A Trump victory may stifle the NWO/OWG plans a few decades, but the end result will be the same.

IMHO, we are literally living in the End Times spoken of in Revelation and Daniel. It will continue to get worse & worse. Matthew 24:7 (Nation rising against Nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom).

Well, we are dealing with forces that go way beyond our own borders. The world paradigm is socialism, it has been that way since World War 2 when Europe went hard left and internationalist quickly in the aftermath and America began a much slower transformation into internationalism and socialism.

We should not curse the age too greatly however...we may be seeing the development of the next world paradigm as we watch America finally succumb where the rest of the west has well before. Islam and Shariah are rising up and are young, populous, aggressive and attractive to eyes that see nothing but rudderless materialism and decay in the west.

And we would probably be very happy with our sick socialist society compared to what is coming.

Kalifornia was nominally a conservative Republican state until Regan left the governors mansion. Now look at it.

..Their agenda is what is being advanced in pop culture and in our schools....

And the USA is paying the price with the new Socialist generation. However, millenials appear to have low voter turnout.

Reagan didn't let changing demographics lock Republicans out of office.

Somebody else might have looked at the Republican base of the 1930s and 1940s and seen how it shrank as a share of the population and concluded that Republicans or conservatives had no hope for success.

Reagan, who'd actually been a liberal Democrat back then, understood that Republicans could win over voters who'd been Democrats (or even foreigners) in the old days and win elections.

Granted, all that is easier said than done, but while demographics may be destiny, they don't prevent intelligent action to win over voters who might at one point been on the other side.

Of course, it's also the case that the descendants of a lot of those old Republicans of 70 years ago have gone over to the Democrats. It cuts both ways.
