We will continue to drift Leftwards as long we insist on accepting the "lesser of two evils" candidates for public office. Splitting the difference is simply not good enough. To obtain a Free Republic, we must actively roll government back.
One of our biggest problems is that our side works for a living. And we have had to work increasingly harder over the past few decades to make ends meet, given all the redistribution taking place. So there is only so much time, effort and focus available. But at some point, we are going to have to make time, en masse, and start knocking down some walls here.
Well, now you're in for it! You make a very good point - one that gets me hammered by the Bushbots every time I raise it.
Bush is growing government like crazy, happily signed off on the First Amendment assault, bought into Ted Kennedy's "education" boondoggle and set us up to squander at least a trillion dollars on "free" pills to buy votes. And more, and more.
But none of that matters to the "Bush at all costs" people. For me, the cost is too high, and if he doesn't shape up he gets no support from me.
