Title: A New “Normal” America
Topic: America Under Attack
Discussed by Professor Dr. Gregory Shaller
with A Line of Sight (www.alineofsight.com)
Part 1 of 4
Many Conservatives were shocked when President Obama was reelected on
November 6, 2012. Much of their optimism before the election was based on a
notion that it is very difficult for an incumbent to win re-election when things
are going as badly as they were (and continue to be).
The only way the Democrat party’s agenda can succeed politically in the
long-term is if they can define for our country what a “new normal” looks like.
But, what is the “old normal”? Professor Dr. Gregory Shaller discusses economic
growth (or lack thereof), unemployment, and government assistance, among other
issues over the next 4 segments.

The new thought
among many people in America is “let the government handle it”.
They stand with wallets open, empty grocery bags in hand, waiting for their
monthly allowance.
When will it be enough? There used to be a day when only very desperate people
utilized “the system” and that was only for a short period of time before they
were back on their feet. Now, many of the unemployed have simply given up
because it’s easier to just sit at home all day, year after year after year,
letting the government pay their bills.

Professor Gregory
Schaller recently spoke with a group of Conservatives who are still confident
that eventually more and more Americans will wake up and realize that we can,
should, and must do much better than the current record is producing.
But, what if we resign to the “new normal” of an unemployment rate above 7
percent?
What if we resign to the “new normal” of economic growth at a puny 1 percent, or
lower?
What if we resign to the “new normal” of over half our citizens not paying any
taxes, because they are already living off the government?
What if we resign to the “new normal” of college graduates with degrees living
at home with their parents because they can’t find a job?

The Democrat’s
agenda is one of a weaker America. Many Conservatives argued that
the 2012 Election was “the most important election of a lifetime”. Well, we lost
that battle. But we are still in the war.
The mid-term elections in 2014 must be hard-fought by all Conservatives. We must
solidify a base that wants and believes in an America that is so much better
than it is today.
