The overall march of socialism in this country went largely unabated through over twenty years of Republican control. Eroding of Rights, Keynesian economics, moral relativism, eroding sovereignty, federal monolithic government... I could go on all day. All of these things continued under Republican administrations, and under Republican controlled houses.
You sir, are being played. Until the Republicans stop paying lip service to the things they say they stand for, and actually FIGHT, they account for *nothing*, at best, and are likely complicit contributors.
The last time the Republicans controlled the government (House, Senate, President) for twenty years was 1861 through 1884.
