America the Conservative?

By John Sykes

The following article really really scares me about where we are headed if in fact the GOP turns away from the Tea Party movement. There’s a lot of back-slapping going on, particularly amongst cocktail party Republicans, that could doom the conservative Tea Party movement’s momentum and turnout successes. The cartoon is satirical!

 

From Steve Chapman at TownHall:

…The temptation of any political party is to interpret any impressive triumph as an enduring affirmation of its ideology. Democrats did it after their 2008 triumph, with the left-of-center magazine The New Republic running an article titled, "America the Liberal."

But Obama won more because of the lousy economy than his worldview -- which, as it happens, was also true of Reagan in 1980. Since taking office, Obama has been forcefully reminded that America is much less liberal than his party imagined.

So humility is in order among Republicans. "They have not been restored to their natural ruling place by a grateful people," writes Olsen. "They have been turned to by an angry people who harbor as many doubts about conservatives as they do about liberals."

A conservative nation? Sort of. Until it's not. Read it all here…
