If you think what happened in 1937 isn't anything to be concerned about, I can't imagine you'll find anything that happened in 1776 or 1789 of any possible consequence at all.

We're supposed to "roll back decades of federal government largesse", without looking back at those decades and the root cause? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Actually, I cited 1937 because that is when the GOP finally figured out that the New Deal was not going to be repealed during the Depression after they were reduced to 8 Senators for demanding that which was not to happen. 1937 is thus very relevant.

If you guys want to suicide politically and cause losses on matters that REALLY matter such as guns, babies, marriages, war, military appropriations, matters which are quite winnable, go nominate paleoPaulie again as a Libertoonian. His antiAmerican antiwar pretensions and support for Al Qaeda's talking points guarantee that he will pull a lot more votes from the Demonrats than he will from a GOP nominee.

I don't think I said anything about rolling back decades of federal largesse. I keep reminding myself that the important issues listed in the previous paragraph are the ones on which Western Civilization rests while money will always be only money and will be up for grabs in every election.

In choosing important years, I would think that one particular year between 29 and 33 AD was of far more consequence than 1789 or even 1776. Countries come and go but God is as permanent a Factor as there can be.
