Why America is moving left Trio of powerful conservative women explain reversible trend May 31, 2015 Garth Kant
WASHINGTON – The latest Gallup poll appears to be really bad news for the right, but it omitted what three influential conservatives consider a crucial factor.
For the first time, Gallup found the number of Americans describing their views on social issues as “liberal” or “very liberal” was the same as those describing themselves as “conservative” or “very conservative,” with both sides at 31 percent.
But, in its analysis, Gallup neglected to mention a key factor that could explain the entire apparent shift in attitudes: immigration.
“Of course, this is a result of immigration,” Ann Coulter told WND. “Liberals haven’t changed anyone’s mind. They couldn’t win elections with Americans, so they brought in ringers.”
Phyllis Schlafly told WND, “The polls don’t reflect the ‘changing’ attitudes of Americans; the polls reflect the attitudes of our changing population.”
“Obama has admitted millions of people who simply reject traditional American social norms. All the changes reported by Gallup can be attributed to the recent unprecedented immigration,” she added.
Michele Bachmann noted how the concept of assimilation has gone by the wayside, telling WND, “Immigrants from Third-World nations aren’t expected to learn American values norms or culture, much less the English language.”
As WND has reported, those claims are backed-up by the data in a comprehensive study done by Schlafly’s Eagle Forum that showed a recent immigration explosion unlike anything America has ever seen.
A law passed in 1965 caused immigration levels to make a U-turn from decades of steady decrease, and to begin climbing to new highs far above the historic norm, contrary to common belief.
In her latest column, Coulter charged, “Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 Immigration Act was expressly designed to change the demographics of our country to be poorer and more inclined to vote Democratic. It worked! Post-1970 immigrants vote 8-2 for the Democrats.”
Indeed, the Eagle Forum study found the large majority of Hispanics, Asians, Muslims and European immigrants had views to the left of the average American voter.
“The explanation for the Gallup Poll report is that Obama has been bringing in so many foreigners who are not conservatives of any kind, who come from countries where government manages their lives, and who reject the idea of Christian values guiding our social mores,” Schlafly told WND.
Bachmann echoed that, noting, “In fact, it is severely frowned upon to suggest new immigrants join America’s predominant Christian religion.”
