Result? The nation we are today is not the one bequeathed to us by the founders. So how do we overturn over two-and-a-quarter centuries of history?

First what you don't do.

How do you stop a car careening down a back towards a cliff? You don't step on the gas and steer towards the pit at the bottom.

You overturn two-and-a-quarter centuries of history by stepping on the brakes, and asking others to help you. Reagan did this, but he was alone and requested help. Help didn't arrive until '94, and by then we had a cokehead at the wheel. Now that we've got both someone who, at least in theory, knows which way the road to RIGHTeousness lay, and a sympathetic congress - why is he still stepping on the gas and steering towards the cliff?

We have an extremely narrow, paper majority in the Senate that cannot be in control as long as the Dems have any hope of regaining power at all. We have Republicans who vote w/the Dems. So, there goes the *sympathetic Congress* argument.

Being a *principled conservative* is the best present the Dems have had in ages. They are using it to marginalize the entire right.

If we had a Republican super majority, w/o a Republican President, we would not have gridlock. We would have deals being cut by the Dems in order that the business of the country proceeds.

I think the POTUS has to do the political equivalent of driving a professional obstacle course, rather than just choosing brakes or gas at the edge of a cliff. And he has to do it w/a car full of hornets and some live fire along the route, as well.

No President can *kick* the Congress into submission. Our Constitution won't allow it and if any President tried it, it would be usurption of power, fascism, dictatorship and he would be impeached....rightly.

As to the government stealing your money, that is exactly the talking points I am hearing today from die-hard Democrats. "Stealing us blind" is another one. Are you on their email alert list?
