Conservatives: Feeling like a minority? You’re not.

…and Americans, don’t let those famously tolerant, warm-hearted, open-minded liberals try (as they always do) to marginalize you and make you feel like a fringe nutbar. 

It really can happen just that easily.  In Canada, they’ve already largely succeeded, as many former, traditional Canadians—conservatives like the people who built this country and made it great—now think it’s embarrassing to be pro-life, or in favor of traditional marriage.  They literally think making profits is embarrassing.  And they think to be a capitalist and in favor of free markets is un-Canadian, and they love and support the likes of state-run, socialism-reliant media like CBC and other North Korean-style government-run initiatives like our decrepit healthcare system, even though they’re both utter failures of the liberal-left.  And “freedom” generally is but an asinine failed American experiment.  And the very idea of lowering taxes and having smaller governments that spend less instead of more is a guaranteed election loser, such that election campaigns consist of parties that promise to outspend the other if elected, and to grow government bigger, and regulate more and more, and to start more and more government social (and “early learning” —wink!) programs, instead of promoting free markets, capitalism, personal responsibility, less government, freedom…

Don’t let that happen.

Gallup poll:

“Conservatives” Are Single-Largest Ideological Group

by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ—Thus far in 2009, 40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This represents a slight increase for conservatism in the U.S. since 2008, returning it to a level last seen in 2004. The 21% calling themselves liberal is in line with findings throughout this decade, but is up from the 1990s.

[…]

True to their nonpartisan tendencies, close to half of political independents—45%—describe their political views as “moderate.” Among the rest, the balance of views is tilted more heavily to the right than to the left: 34% are conservative, while 20% are liberal. …

And this poll was taken prior to most Americans figuring out that today’s “liberals” are really made up largely of posers.
