O'Sullivan’s First Law describes the drift of many politicians, leaders, and organizations. It was first coined by John O'Sullivan in 1989.

It states that "All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing."[1]

Examples

  • The Drudge Report's leftward shift.[2] To some extent, also to that of Fox News
  • Compromising Christian colleges, including Wheaton College, that first compromised on Biblical inerrancy and evolution, then increasingly on other issues (such as homosexuality, feminism, and Islam)
  • The many token conservatives who originally held conservative positions but shifted sharply to the Left
  • European establishment conservatives, who eventually shifted sharply to the Left, supporting Europhile, pro-mass migration, and anti-Christian policies
  • The Conservative Political Action Conference's leftward drift, marginalizing social conservatives and pro-gun activists, among other conservatives, while caving to the homosexual agenda
  • Pat Robertson's shift to the Left on certain issues, such as gun control, climate change, and his support for liberal Republican Rudy Giuliani in 2008
  • The Boy Scouts of America's shift to the left on social issues such as homosexuality and gender
  • The media, big business, and the military establishment once were generally conservative though liberal thinking now predominates them
