The Progressives wanted a public option in healthcare but didn’t get one. They want amnesty for 12 -20 million votes but can’t get it all at once. They want to control energy costs but can’t get cap and trade passed. They are very patient. They got Obamacare and if they can make large corporations abandon their employee’s healthcare plans, they will “have no choice” but to offer a public option. They want full amnesty but will take a little bit at a time until they get what they want. The DREAM act is the beginning. They couldn’t get cap and trade but got around Congress via the EPA. Little by little they are taking control of this Republic and unless the average American gets their head out of the boob tube and off the Government dole and starts to hold their Government liable for their actions, all will be lost.
I believe the left took control decades ago- in the schools, the media, the foundations, the CIA,and the civil service (etc etc). It is a slow process, but they have been winning and Obamacare was something they wanted for decades. I will be shocked if the Repubs ever repeal it. It will probably be stopped because we can’t pay for universal heathcare, which is what the left wants. 2010 was a major step nonetheless. With things like Obamacare and the TSA groping ordinary Americans, they have overplayed their hands, IMO. They do the DREAM Act? 2012 will make 2010 look like a win to to the Dems.
