America No Longer a Conservative Nation

Aside from the recent landslide presidential election, there are additional studies, as well as landmark law changes suggesting a new, permanent Democrat (or Democrat leaning) majority in the United States.

American Ideals and values are changing. We are not straying away from our country's founding principles of liberty and freedoms, rather, we're changing how we go about retaining and promoting those principles. 

For example, we are finally realizing that freedom and equality for all means allowing everyone, gay or straight to be married. 

We are not necessarily straying from traditional Republican values, rather outdated and logically unfounded Conservative values. For example, lower taxes for most Americans was part of Obama's campaign platform, and despite what Limbaugh says, is being implemented. 

However, Conservative bigotry like banning homosexuals from marrying is dying out.

Let's think about this. The world has a natural and inevitable tendency to progress. We threw out dictatorships and monarchies for republics and democracies. We give freedoms and rights to more and more groups and minorities as time goes by, such as the lower class, blacks, women, gays, and what not. We advance our thoughts and views as a collective society, and progress for the better. Conservatism goes completely against this. It is destined to fail.

Republicans need to understand the implications of this. Conservatism is a radical fringe element know (or at least we are moving toward this). Socially moderate Republicans could be apart of this American shift, but there don't seem to be many in power, and good luck to any who try to get funding from the GOP to run against/in place of Conservative incumbents.
