what a boring article. There is no "there" there. The author is delusional if he believes we are at a "tipping point" towards conservatism. Do people truly expect government at levels shrink in absolute terms? Never happen peacefully. Does anyone honestly expect the politicians and bureaucracies to wither away and reduce their sadistic power over citizens? Never happen.

One of the comments to the article likely provides the explanation: the author "got lucky" last night.

This is the article from Jeffery Lord, Hannity was talking about.

BTTT! Try the editorial sidebar in News/Activism next time. It has a great chronology from Taft’s opposition to the New Deal to the Tea Party movement holding the line on no new taxes in the budget deal.

“Thanks to the Tea Party movement, Conservatism is on the verge of a major victory that dwarfs the technical and actual realities of whatever the details of the resulting deficit deal passed last night. Yes, there is a long, long way to go. But the idea that America doesn’t, in fact, have to be governed for eternity as a debtor nation with a mammoth, out-of-control, ever-expanding government is winning the day.”

We’ll have to win the Presidency and Senate for that to happen.
