Everyone tries to compare now to Reagan’s time, but it isn’t just the party that has changed, it’s the American people. We are not the same country we once were, and Americans today are not conservative in the real sense of the word. If they were, we wouldn’t be electing the people that we do.
I know Rush always cites polls that say Americans identify themselves as conservative, but that doesn’t mean anything because people can have different ideas on what that means.
We have big government that doles out money because that is what voters want. We may have to face up to the fact that real conservatism is not popular. People prefer dependence to liberty and self-reliance.
That's fine right up to the point where they start taking MY liberty and destroying MY ability to be self reliant; then I have a major issue with it. So the alternatives are fight the loss of liberty and increased dependency at every turn, or wait for them to knock on your front door, because you are the one voice left. Which will it be?
The only glimmer of hope I see is the Dim agenda will implode so bad, people will be forced back to true conservatism.
