You admonished me a while back about being a short term pessimist, a long term optimist.

If I did, either I mis-wrote, or you misunderstood. That is exactly the only sane way to be.

The problem is, every time we take one of these leftist swings, we embed more leftist crap into the system. I don't blame the Left for what is going on. They are advancing the red flag of collectivism and believe in it.

The problem is that our leaders on the right are so conflicted with by the pull of Religious Altruism on their Free Enterprise beliefs that they can't come on with a coherent counter-revolutionary program.

What is going on here is the conflict between the French Revolution of the left and the American Revolution of the right. The Left one believes in the supremacy of the state. The Right in the supremacy of the individual.
