Congratulations, Michael. You were able to contradict yourself in the first sentence.
Obama realized that he could take half a loaf now, split the Republican party and come back for other higher taxes again very soon. Sometimes you take a partial victory today to get total victory tomorrow rather than trying to grab everything today. The GOPe's surrender may split the party and open up the House to the Democrats in 2014, and I'm not so sure they would mind becoming the minority party just to keep conservatives from having any power.
Exactly. Is this idiot completely oblivious to the fact that the marxists have slowly, patiently, but inexorably infiltrated every American institution, most recently the Christian church? Is he really unaware of the Alinsky strategy of three steps forward, one step back, or as Margaret Thatcher called it, “the ratchet effect”? They-the marxists-are perfectly aware that they don’t need a Russian-style revolution to implement their agenda.Time, and the indoctrination of each succeeding generation, is on their side, at least until the end of history.
Yep, you're more likely to overcome resistance by incrementalism, like the frog in the boiling pot analogy.
There's also a joke that illustrates it. Two bulls are sitting on a hill, looking down on a pasture full of cows. The younger bull says: "Hey, let's run down there and screw one of those cows!", but the older bull says "No, son, let's walk down there, and screw 'em all."
