As Left Wins Culture Battles, G.O.P. Gains Opportunity to Pivot for 2016
NY Times ^ | June 27, 2015 | Jonathan Martin

A cascade of events suggests that 2015 could be remembered as a Liberal Spring: the moment when deeply divisive and consuming questions of race, sexuality and broadened access to health care were settled in quick succession, and social tolerance was cemented as a cornerstone of American public life.

Yet what appears, in headlines and celebrations across the country, to represent an unalloyed victory for Democrats, in which lawmakers and judges alike seemed to give in to the leftward shift of public opinion, may contain an opening for the Republican Party to move beyond losing battles and seemingly lost causes.

Conservatives have, in short order, endured a series of setbacks on ideas that, for some on the right, are definitional: that marriage is between a man and a woman, that Southern heritage and its symbols are to be unambivalently revered and that the federal government should play a limited role in the lives of Americans.

“Failing to vote AGAINST the leftists is what got us to this point.”

What got us here is believing the decades of GOP lies about how selling out your principles will bring victory.

Go back to the bordello and get back into the stained bed where you and your GOP lovers belong.

>>>The propaganda machine will be ginned up to scare you about Hillary and Democrats, they’ll use Benghazi, Obama, Amnesty<<<

That is the funniest thing I’ve read here all day.

The Right does not have a Truth Machine, a Propaganda Machine or even a means to communicate anything.

The Media is run by Liberals and they will have everyone thinking that Hillary is Aunt Bee, sent to us by God to take care of the Household formerly know as the United States of America.

My words were meant to offend, but are not near enough to express the depth of my feelings toward those who have destroyed this once-great republic. You are welcome to call me rude, obnoxious, crass, vulgar, or any number of epithets, but you cannot deny the sickening, perverse, filthy, disgusting, truth of the Republican Party’s treason.

And now you have the gall to attack those who once fell prey to your lies of constant compromise with evil—poor fools always hoping that somehow it could result in the good you promised. Disgusting? I think so!
