>>I’m sorry, the LAST time the less-than-perfect was settled upon, we got the following *fine* Compassionate Conservative ideals: NSA, TARP, DHS, broken borders, Religion of Peace, NCLB, etc.
We also got 9/11 and two wars and we started that presidency with a Deomcratic Party that was out for blood and a pissed-off media. Remind me, who was the “perfect” candidate in that primary? GWB might be remembered differently if certain events had or had not occurred. But, how many people were talking about the UniParty in 2000? We know from hindsight that it existed before then, but very few of of us knew it and when we mentioned it right here, we got flamed for our tinfoil hat theories.
You point backwards to demonstrate why we shouldn’t do something in the future. History matters, but the context of that history matters too. Can you understand how much the world, the nation, and the people have changed in 16 years?!? Just because something worked in the past does not guarantee success in the future, or vice-versa. The Progs work with the conditions that they find HERE AND NOW. We need to learn to accept reality as a part of our plans as well or they will keep moving the ball in their direction.
Ah, so history/context matters...when subverting or not supporting the Constitution?
I don’t recall anything being ATTEMPTED by the ‘Right’ to reverse from the Socialist path. The majority of what I pointed out happened with a Congress and W.H. populated with the, so called, ‘small govt’ party.
What ‘reality’ do you propose to ‘readily accept’? We’re a Democracy? The Constitution is a ‘living, breathing’ document? What, HERE AND NOW, gets us BACK to a Free Nation and People?
