“I think they’re closest to termites, unseen many times but working away to destroy the foundation relentlessly.”
EXCELLENT analogy! That is exactly what they are to the Constitution and the founding of this country.
This the age old strategy of the left. They know they would never be able to get a bill to do what they really want, which to eliminate free speech in all its forms. So they start small, get their foot in the door with the approval of a seemingly innocuous bill about a minor facet of the issue -- and then wait until everyone forgets (about 3 months in the U.S.) and then introduce the next step claiming there is precedent set by the first bill. Happens every time. That's why, for example, the tax on wages for Social Security is now at least 10 or 15 times higher than when it was first passed. Pelosi blew it by attempting to eliminate the right to a legitimate constituency i.e. corporations. What she should have done is slip a limitation on free speech for some obscure constituency like, say, alligators (lol) into the ObamaCare bill of 2,700 pages that no one could possibly read until it was passed (we've heard that before) and then build from there. Same old strategy poorly executed.
