That's one of the reasons that we have been losing the culture wars. The left is not afraid to advance the goals it wants to achieve. Instead of calls to eliminate “gun-free zones,” we get geniuses at places like the Republican National Committee that want to attract moderates with ideas like Medicare Part D, No Child Left Behind and the recent mea culpa for why Romney blew it last November.

THAT, my FRiend, is the money line and cannot be said often enough! I hope you repeat that at least 4 times a day, if not more!!

(Can you tell I am in strong agreement with you?)

May I disagree with you both?

The basic problem is that the Republican Party's squirearchy is feckless, venal, and faithless. Their motives have zero idealism, zero good faith, and 100% lickspittle commitment to the agenda of selfish, powerful, invisible people who don't even bother to advance their own interests, but hire congressmen to do it for them while they skulk in the shadows, sneering at us.

Those interests do not include our rights and liberties, but instead putting us to work as churls at near-zero wages. Unaccountably, of course.
