If you look back over the last 30 years, back over the record of conservative reform, there is one thing that stands out. Conservative reform never had a chance unless there was a crisis.

True enough. But the difference is that the last time "conservatives" were called on in a crisis they failed to help and they got cast back into the wilderness. So now, not all Americans trust that they will do what they say and Democrats point to Bill Clinton as the example of Democratic "budget balancing".

So we have a hard row to hoe.

If conservatives are ever given the chance again....they better actually do what they say and not just take over the Democratic power levers and perks like they did last time.

Sadly, it will take years of painful economic distress and ridiculous taxation for the American public to realize they have been lied to and are brain-dead for believing it in the first place.

That is, if they ever do........

That's the root of things, isn't it? Fish rot from the head and that's what's happened to American government. Our Judiciary now makes the laws. The Legislative feasts on a seemingly never-ending banquet of pork and privilege and lets the Judiciary do what it will. The Executive seems caught up in endless kow-towing to the rest of the world when it's not apologizing to them and the UN for representing American interests. It's time to clean the stable.
