You said it, man. "Progressives" aka Liberals, aka Socialists, aka Communists, Fascists, etc all want us to believe that things are getting better because things are going their way and their plans are being fulfilled. Still, the Healthcare Dot Gov website is a mess, people's identities are up for grabs, insurance rates are going to spike(They only haven't yet because the elections are coming this year), we are sending money to other countries instead of focusing on our own, personal responsibility is down the drain, the primary conservative party in America is falling apart at the stitches, people aren't going to marches, demonstrations, and protests any more, and it all boils down to the fundamentals.... Families are breaking apart and faith is a thing of the past.
Praying is a good step in the right direction, but we have to get active and do what we know to be right. We have to get out and get involved in grassroots activities so that undecided(Low information) voters can see that liberals don't care about them. They care about destroying our Nation.
The one thing you have to give them credit for is getting involved. People spoke harshly about Obama's past and that he was just a "Community organizer", but look at how he motivated the masses. Being a community organizer isn't a bad thing. It's the RIGHT thing. We have to look out for our family, our neighborhoods, our states, and things will start to come around.
I fear though that the Republican Party truly is in a bad way. They have people like Christie that are supposed to be likely candidates in 2016, but they are closer to Democrat than a TRUE Republican. The base has been split between RINOs, Tea Party, and Libertarians. We have to consolidate and rejuvenate the conservative base in America. Another problem is that the two major parties have created a "Lock down" situation as far as political funding, campaigning, and access to debates. The last two presidential elections saw two candidates running that were almost identical in their positions. The one who stood out(Palin) was railroaded and made to look like a lunatic of some sort. It's a damn shame.
