The country continues it's move to the right.

Your last premise is unsupportable. It is not moving to the right. Conservative bastions such as North Carolina and Texas are being overrun by liberalism. California, which since 1956 was a reliable Republican state (excepting 1964), is now reliably Democrat. Many other examples abound that the country is moving left and both parties are moving towards Statism.

Florida, which has been controlled by Democrats since reconstruction is 100% in the hands of Republicans. In the past few years Republicans have dominated the governorships and statehouses like never before. These gains will lead to more and more national victories.

Do you forget the 30's through the 70's? Socialism under FDR, war protestors, free love, Black Panthers, Jimmy Carter, Dan Rostenkowski, detante with the Soviets, Iranian hostages, et al.? The Republicans were able to nothing but sit in their country clubs and go "Tut, tut." Ronaldus Magnus started the revolution and though we have had set backs (Clinton), it is still moving in the right direction.

They didn't turn us into a nanny state overnight and we won't change it back by fiat. It will be a slow, painful process, but we will win, we will prevail, and America will continue as the world's bastion of freedom and opportunity.

Stepping off the soapbox now...
