He a threat to the party. Hello Whigsville GOP!!
What we are afraid to see is that the American people have become more and more attuned to government taking care of them, and I don’t just mean welfare recipients. We want gov’t. to educate our kids, pay for their college, watch after our health, tell us what to eat and drink, make sure the old folks are taken care of, let them tell us what we can drive, and on and on and on. We have abrogated responsibility for our own lives and for caring for our families and ask Uncle Sam to be our daddy.
This seems to be what most people expect now. How can you believe people want to be free when they meakly allow bureaucrats to dictate even the most mundane aspects of our lives, such as toilets, light bulbs, and household appliances?
I hate to be so pessimistic, but it seems that we are going the way of Europe. Conservatism is pretty much dead, even among those who still think of themselves as being conservative. We all line up for the government goodies when we can get them.
