Or, to put it another way, small government and fiscal conservatism will not survive the victory of social leftism.

Saying the same thing over and over doesn't make it true. Our problem is big government. Social leftism starts with federal involvement in social issues like the safety net and schools. Can the author truly believe that local school boards and private charity lead to social leftism?

School boards are chock full of rabid barking moonbats!
