The Right Moving Right Off the Cliff?


The last few days has brought a number of interesting signs that the “Right” in this country may be wrong. Let me share the following…

* Opposition to gay marriage is dropping in the United States. According to a recent Pew Research Poll, fewer people oppose the idea than did one year ago. We already know the majority of people support civil unions for gays and lesbians, showing even further how far off the Constitutional Amendment on the ballot this fall in Wisconsin really is.

* In South Dakota, where state government is trying to essentially ban abortions, public opinion is running counter to their actions. In a tracking poll on the performance of their Governor who signed the measure, his approval ratings dropped from 72 percent the last sixth months to 58 percent immediately following the ban. His disapproval rating went from 23 percent to 38 percent. People seem to get it.

* And from the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, it seems Oral Roberts University graduate Rep. Mike Huebsch (along with Rep. John Gard and others) received $250 from strip club owner Ambrose Schwartz. Schwartz owns the 4 Mile Gentlemen’s Club. Seems that “family values” only goes so far…and I guess that far is the bank. Did that come in the form of a check or a pile of wadded up singles? Just curious....

Is it the end? Is it the apocalypse? Is the new Capitol address 666?

Or are people finally figuring out that the right has been wrong too many times?
