You hear a lot of political pundits predict that the Republican Party will cease to exist due to the fact that minority groups will soon become the majority.
Basically the "experts" say that the Republican Party must turn into a party of liberal ideas in order to remain relevant.
It's true that the country is on the verge of embracing socialism and the Republican Party is in for some difficult times, especially if no adequate leader emerges.
After a while, however, the minorities turned majorities will grow up and become annoyed they're still being told what to do every step of the way.
"You're an adult now and can make your own decisions, Jose. Now, this is what doctor you'll go to, this is what university you'll attend (because they're in desperate need of Hispanic students), this is how we're going to invest your money, so you needn't worry about that, etc..."
Then Jose's going to say, "But I want to make those decisions myself. I can think for myself. I can create my own success. I want freedom to prosper."
"But freedom is what caused your people to be oppressed, Jose."
"Look at all the successful minorities in this country, starting with Barack Obama. The only thing that matters is my ability and determination," Jose will counter.
"That's antiquated thinking, Jose. Now I'm going to get started registering you for the classes society thinks it's best for you to take?"
I don't mean to go all Ayn Rand here, but the simple fact of the matter is that if you strip freedom away from people they will revolt, and unfortunately the naïve among us are currently electing individuals who wish to strip more and more of our liberty.
So while the pundits are correct in saying that the Republican Party will be in shambles once the minority becomes the majority, it will only be a temporary situation.
Because regardless of race, creed or color; people hate being told what to do, which is why children are in such a hurry to grow up.
And I'm confident this country will eventually grow up.
