Cagle Post: Our Conservative Nation

The latest Gallup poll shows that conservatives are the dominant political ideology and have edged out moderates for the last three years. This confirms once again that America is a center-right country. Conservatives outnumber liberals by 2-1 and yet President Obama insists on governing as a liberal.

President Obama is in his own world, his ideas reinforced by leftist yes-men in his administration. He doesn’t even realize – or care – that his ideology represents only a miniscule 20 percent minority. By the way he talks, you’d think 80 percent of the country was liberal. In fact, during last year’s debt ceiling debate, President Obama astoundingly claimed that 80 percent of Americans want a tax increase to help bring down our nation’s debt! At the time, Mr. Obama wanted to raise the debt ceiling on a “clean vote” – i.e. without reforms or offsetting cuts. But he misread the mood of the country and was forced to back down. Now President Obama is back asking Congress for another $1.2 trillion to lift the debt ceiling to a new record of $16.4 trillion, up from $10.6 trillion when he took office.
