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.
You’ve hit the nail on the head. But if the Progressives are really following the Alinsky doctrine, they must first crash the capitalist system before they can lead us to their socialist utopia. Granting citizenship and puting 12 to 20 million illegals on the Government dole may be all that’s need to accomplish that. Of course, that will mean 12 to 20 million new Democratic voters.
