This is the central beef I have with the GOP: They never come out and openly say just what game is afoot. They never denounce Socialism for the treason it is. They do not do this. It not hard to do; there are plenty of historical examples and as plenty of contemporaneous ones. (eg CA, or NYC.)
I write it off to shear cowardice.
If we Conservatives cannot get committed legislators to force the issue into the public eye then I fear it will be too late.
It is becoming clear that we must push this from the grass roots.
