They're using the Overton window of political possibility against us. With Obama being so bad they saw a chance to run to the left of McCain. The demo talks of specifics but the who partywide shift works the same way and we end up further to the left than we wee after Bush.

Personally all I can say is that Darkness whispers promises into the ear of the fearful.

Great piece, thanks for sharing. I’ve been using this for years, but never knew its name or that it was formally studied.

Unfortunately, I believe you’re calling it wrong. We’re using it against them. When we started home schooling our kids friends and family thought we were nuts. I don’t meet a person today who doesn’t say either “good for you” or “wish I had/could do that for my kids”.

Look at the 2nd Amendment, abortion and even homosexual marriage. We’re winning. They have the courts and the kakocracy on their side, but that’s it. Now is the time to press homosexuality back to its proper place as a psychological illness. The science shows that it is. Gen Y is ripe for conservative change.
