the majority of Uhhhmericans have a sense of fair play.
they want their children to do better than they did.
conservatism ensures a return to the 19th century - this isn't a vision most Uhhhhmericans hold close to their hearts.
as far as those precious few sane republicans or conservatives who see through the teabagger con job - suck it up, man up and own it. these nutty fuckers are your own. the democratic party doesn't necessarily need very many more "greatest generation" types when there are plenty of old hippies and disco bunnies who will be lining up for social security and old age benefits.
those things will be there with the democratic party in power.
clean up your own house before you start shitting concern everywhere.

But center right as of when? The center right of 10 years ago is now considered left by the right.

Love the link, but... on an objective, global spectrum... we're center-right.

This country leans slightly right. I didn't say it leans far-right or into crazy. :)

In a global spectrum, Keynesian/mixed economy theory is centrist, not left.
