I scoff. The country is becoming more conservative, not less.
In some way's I'd agree with you. I'm not optimistic about what's taking place at the federal level. I know some things look pretty good. There are other things that don't look good at all.
Open borders...
Massive spending...
Massive increases in the Department of Education Budget...
Massive new programs promising even more services to special interest groups...
More and more oppressive security...
While we and some others talk a good game, it's what is being instituted that will haunt us for decades to come. I wish I were as optimistic as you are, but there are dark clouds on the horizon.
