The Death –
Republican Failure in America
The western culture during Christmas season is something
that I am heavily addicted too. I am a
sucker for the old school Christmas toons and a slow night with hot chocolate
and a super cozy blanket. I love to slow
down, contemplate life, and think on how I can improve myself. During my last zone out special I started
thinking about the conservative lifestyle and the realization that true
conservatism in the United States is almost dead.
I am a pretty social person and out of all my networks of
friends and family I can safely say its about 1/3 liberal and 2/3
republican. I have lived on the east
coast and the west but it’s always roughly the same split. After every election I’m always fascinated at
how little the Republican Party accomplished and mostly how little it represented. I contribute most of it to the lack of it constituent’s
willingness to voice their opinions or act on their beliefs.
I don’t consider it a major mystery why most republicans are
so reluctant to speak up, after all most main stream news and entertainment
outlets make it seem close minded or even wrong to have any opinion if it
doesn’t fit their views. I think about
20 years ago how someone would react if you said “I’m not comfortable with
homosexuals”. If someone was to say
that now they would be casted as a homo fob, rather than someone just not being
comfortable with the lifestyle.
The culture that surrounds conservative thinking is to avoid
conflicts. Most constituent’s are followers
of a Christian based religions and believe they are suppose turn the other
cheek, but often it’s forgotten that even Jesus Christ when needed, flipped
over tables in his father’s temple. He
stood up against a tyrannical roman government and said, “I am the King, that’s
why I was born.”
I don’t think most average Americans understand how
detrimental the loss of the Republican Party will be. I agree that the Republican Party is stuck in
the past but what most people consider a flaw in many cases is extremely
needed. It was the values of the past
that made America so strong. Work ethic,
Family values, protection of business, and earning your way is becoming an
exclusive republican trait.
Without the Republican Party there is nothing stopping
America from selfishness. We are already
teetering on the remaining wealth in the US leaving. We are all fools if we
believe a country bent on stealing from the rich and allowing government to
dictate the rules to corporations will not have awful effects on us all. Why would the wealth stay here when they
could easily relocate anywhere in the world.
We should do everything to work with employers to secure them as
American assets. It’s tough to look upon
those with more and say it’s unfair, it probably is but the alternative is
much, much, worse.
The lack of backbone in conservatives is the one major flaw that will ultimately remove Republicans completely as a party, not to mention, help the steady removal of organized religion. Unless republicans can learn how to get voters out and allow for honest opinion to be expressed, I don’t see how they can survive in the modern self serving America.
