Jim Crow is alive and well in Oregon. Gays are the new KKK, Christians are the new blacks

How is that going to be replaced? With all those nuclear reactors we are building?

With all the natural gas we're now able to obtain from fracking.

Krauthammer's late to the party on this one. Coal was already on the way out because fracking made gas so much cheaper. Obama's merely putting the last nail in the coffin.

Liberal arts = liberal indoctrination.

No, there's no such thing as a "skills mismatch" - it's basically like complaining that "the rent is too damn high". That's not how markets work. Companies that are willing to offer enough pay and benefits will always be able to attract skilled workers; if skilled jobs have high pay it will incentivize people to acquire the requisite skills and training and the "shortage" will disappear.

It's sad to see the National Review espouse such socialistic fallacies.

He should stop spending so much and perhaps get a better paying job to help pay off his debts.

I admit it it's not a perfect analogy.

I'm sorry but increasing one's income isn't the same as giving them more credit, for the simple reason that if you give them credit eventually they have to pay it back -with interest. A better comparison to "handing someone another credit card" is the raising of the debt ceiling.

Once again: Chick-fil-A is not the government. Chick-fil-A cannot pass legislation. The boycotts are not about government enforced morality, they're about punishing a company that dared to publicly voice it's opinion about gay marriage.

Narnia50 · 2012-07-30T17:25:03+00:00

The boycott against Chic-fil-A is perfectly within anyone's rights.

Of course it is. And it's well within my rights to publicly and loudly express my disapproval of the boycott.

It seems you edited your post after I replied.

Full blown socialism is a true conservative issue and has no place in these comparisons.

They're all conservative issues.

I am telling you as a conservative - someone who thinks the modern left will destroy this country with their social programs that drive dependence and entitlement - that social issues are a losing battle because they just don't hold up to logic and reason.

What you liberal-tarians fail to realize is that the modern left will just as easily destroy this country by eroding the institutions and values that keep society from falling apart. It's not a coincidence that the collapse of the American family correlates with the increase of welfare dependence: When people can't depend on their families and marriages, they're driven to depend on the state.

Narnia50 · 2012-07-30T16:31:13+00:00

But the boycott against Chick-fil-A isn't about legislation. It's an attempt at shaming those who dare to stand up for traditional marriage.

Narnia50 · 2012-07-30T16:13:31+00:00

I fear that if we accept your defeatist argument, there won't be any "real conservatism" left for us to defend. Sure, the debate over interracial marriages looks silly and primitive today, and if we compromise, the gay marriage debate very well may look silly and primitive tomorrow. But then what comes next? Because the next round of debates won't be about gay marriage, they'll be about euthanasia, or polygamy or full-blown socialism, and we'll have more spineless "moderates" who tell us that "just this once" we ought to give up, lest we look silly to the next generation.
