No. Take heart. Obama’s second term will be very, very good for conservatism. Even better than Bush’s second term was for the libs.
This is the kind of instant karma (so to speak) that it might take to get America to care so much it actually gets the integrity of elections right.
If we had any balls has small business owners we would drop everyone from our current health plans. Pay the fine, and dump them all onto the government’s lap.
Remember, the original question was if conservatism is dead. Yes, tough times are ahead. But there will be a lot of “I told you so” coming from conservatives. And more people will listen, hopefully many more. That’s how you get folks to convert to conservatism.
Anything implemented can be unimplemented if it’s unpopular enough. Lots of people still blame the current situation on Bush; these idiots gave Obama the necessary edge. They need to have their faces rubbed in their error. In four years, they will listen.
