Mark Steyn is writing what I’m thinking just all the more elegantly and with a British accent. The GOP-E just don’t get it. They aren’t even close to the Gingrich or Delay levels. They are just rolling over trying to look like they are “governing” aka not being confrontational in any real way so as not to get anyone thinking that they might really be going to upset the Obama apple cart of crap once he’s gone. If we aren’t going to have leaders that present a real opposition party what is the value of voting Republican? We get justices like Kennedy and Roberts who both should be impeached both for different reasons.
There is the feeling that we are at the Rubicon. Obama has nearly wiped out all that had been accomplished by Reagan and even by the Gingrich congress post 1994 prior to GW Bush. Culturally we’ve gained on the issue of abortion while losing the battle through Obamacare. We have real strongholds in some states but they are increasingly threatened by the ever encroaching federal beast which now even controls how states license marriage.
Anyone who thinks there is an incremental way back from this is fooling themselves. Its like playing a game knowing you are being cheated and just accepting it. Look at how many GOP candidates just accept political correctness defined in left wing terms as if it is the only natural way things can be and the worst of them not only accept it but they feed it and rush out to declare “I’m not a bigot like that guy!”, “I’m not a sexist like that guy!” and on and one like pathetic wimps hoping to curry some advantage in the eyes of the ever sanctimonious and duplicitous media.

Sure, Obama is the point man, but it’s all going according to the GOPe’s plan since Reagan left office. Reagan was the exception and so was the election of 1994.
The GOPe simply wants to destroy anyone who wants an efficient and accountable government.

Well said. And 100% right on.
