Has America Turned Left? Agree or Disagree?

America stands at a crossroads. We face a critical choice today: accept
the march toward big government and European-style statism or renew our
Founders’ vision of freedom.

divider
In an interview on the Fox Business Channel with Stuart Varney, Karl
Rove responds to the president’s recent statements that our country has
changed and made a shift to the left.

Rove mentions Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute and his reassuring assessment that shows 70% of Americans still agree with traditional values.


If you, like so many, are worried about the direction of the country
watch this four minute interview. While it might make you feel a little
better an important take away is that we cannot afford to remain the
silent majority.

    It has been a long time in coming and evil has had to work long and hard to get us to where we are today, but I do agree that America is at a turning point in our history, I feel that many people deep down inside KNOW that something is terribly wrong but they can not put their finger on it. In a nut shell we have drawn away from god in so many ways that we are now reaping the results.
    Take for instance that any and all bad behavior now comes with a " but " to it..and no real lasting consequences, he store, but his parents were divorced, or drunks or was from a " poor " family,
    he raped, " but " he was a victim because of race or one of the above
    he murdered " but " was from the ghetto, or underprivileged, etc.
    Or the best one, he did - - - - - but was/is not mentally competent..
    Now and days ANY of the ten commandments has a " but " to it is some manner or way.
    We no longer talk about personnel salvation it is now vogue to say " collective "..
    The list go's on & on but I think that any clear thinking person gets the idea..
    Untill we get back to doing the right thing simply because it IS the right thing to do and reconizing that there IS a higher power we will continue to slide to the left....

    The United States Has been moving further and further to the left since the mid 60's. I was at one time a Democrat. That party left me and I changed to Independent. Then I went with the Republicans in the 80's. Now they have moved so far to the left I can not stand most of them. The progressive took over the democratic party and have infiltrated the Republicans. Socialism has all but destroyed a great nation. A nation can not exist when 47% of it people are feeding on the rest.

    Some of the problems are the educational institutions are 95% liberal, let alone our media. College professors brainwash students and a young person starts his life on the wrong path.

    I am aware of the system of academia. I have seen how they have change history. Texas is written new history books with many correction being made. They have refused to allow California to dictate what is in their books any longer. I hope lots of states buy the new books.

    Oh, glad to hear they refused to .... California is such a screwed up state. We can not be dictated by California - colleges, or whoever , otherwise the entire country will be screwed up. Let the crazy liberals stay in their state and enjoy their life in "dark forest" - their own world they life tht is disconnected from real life .

    I live in south Orange county which is conservative. The Santa Ana area is liberal. If they cleaned out the illegals half the population would be gone. You would be getting rid of 75% of the crime while you were at it.

    OMG... and Obama did an amnesty for a few thousands youngsters, right?
    I can predict that a crime will be on the rise at those places affected by amnesty.

    The estimate is that there is 800,000 plus that fall under the amnesty of the President. That is if their estimates are correct and many say they are not.

    I do not have too much of the US experience -only 12 years. On my watch, there were shifts in opposite directions. They do say this country moved to the left since the 50s, but one can find both pro and contra arguments. What bogs my mind is the fact that so many people are still rooting for Obama, despite overwhelming evidence of his nothingness

    It's definitely turned more statist. Whether the particular "stripe" of statism is more leftish or rightish is really of no consequence, since at the top of the food chain, there's little difference between the two.

    We are certainly slipping to the left with the growing sense of 'entitlement' and expectation of handouts versus personal responsibility and hard work. As others have said, this has been a long time coming; since FDR and the 'New Deal'.

    I think a good indicator of the left turn is more and more people get dependent on the government food stamps. It means that the federal government controls the American people's lives which is a clear left turn.

    what HAS turned unabashedly left is both the major news and other media industry, and academia - and now they're becoming bolder about it ... since they only consider one another worthy of conversation, they only talk to other leftists - never to the overwhelming majority of normal people that are decidedly NOT leftist ... these media types have enhanced the power and efficacy of geniuine leftist politicians (almost exclusively Democrats) who have implemented the freedom-sapping policies associated with building a subservient and compliant constituency, typically in urban areas of concentrated population ... at the same time the media folks have besmirched and belittled those politicians who have taken up the mantel of defending our nation against the threat to freedom that leftism represents ... but despite the media's efforts, the American people generally remain center-right in their politics ... the left is making gains, however, by dumbing-down the population - thereby ensuring they don't know about the God-given freedoms being taken away by leftist policies ...

    Idiots who voted for Obama because of his skin color, or because they wanted to be part of history, have realized they were wrong. The left has hit a wall and is now bouncing back to middle where we all need to be.
