I think the problem is that liberalism is irresistibly strong and powerful and that we can not win fighting against it in the media and the political world. Since the rise of alternative media more than twenty years ago, things have just gotten worse and worse regardless of who is in charge. Not one tiny program has been cut in any way except by Bill Clinton's Welfare Reform. Compromising with liberalism, will only make things worse.

Days like these are the reason the founders set up a system where this type of Government intervention was not possible. That has been corrupted and we no longer have a Representative republic, but a democracy. (Sad to say Ben Franklin, despite your warning, we were unable to keep our Republic.)There are bastions of dependency and perversion where democrats are safe until the end of time, but less and less reliable bastions of liberty. Even the safe Republican districts are heavily dependent on Social Security and Medicare, so they are only only reliable as long as the gravy flows, otherwise they will all turn Democrat overnight if Republicans came out for real Liberty and curtailing the role of the Feds in any meaningful way.

IMHO, it's over folks. "Tax cuts" aren't going to cut it this time and people are not willing to give up their benefits, real or perceived. The ONLY opportunity we will have is the coming Bankruptcy, but the Democrats and the media will be there to shepard in communism at that time, so we may not have a prayer.

I really don’t see how we will avoid this one. And the ensuing civil war.
