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?
>>I don’t recall anything being ATTEMPTED by the ‘Right’ to reverse from the Socialist path.
Me neither. The Progressive agenda moved forward even when Reagan was in office. The “Right” has never been in power in our lifetimes. We’ve been led by Globalists, Progressives, and Neocons since the end of WW2. The things that you would call Conservative are not important to a majority of decision-makers (in government and in business) and never have been. But they lead us to believe that they share our values and we believe in the hopes that, this time, it will be true. And we are always left disappointed, while the Progs always seem to inch forward.
Guess what. That what “progressive” means. When they chose that name over a century ago, it was their game plan from Day One. Go read what Senator Robert La Follette said in the first decade of the 20th century.
Understanding our nation is like understanding Christianity. You can choose to think in feelings and then find proof texts to support them. Or you can study systematic theology and know how all the pieces fit together. Most Cruztians are proof texters and that lack of mental discipline extends into their politics as well.
