I can hardly deny that I would like to see a consolidation of Republican and conservative power for awhile, to get through changes I would like to see........


It sounds attractive, until you figure out that the Religious Right would put through all of their programs.

I got a chance to listen to a little bit of Matt Miller being interviewed and questioned by callers on The Michael Medved Show today.

He has some interesting solutions to the age old social problems we have all become familiar with.

I'm not really qualified to remark on his book since I haven't read it, but his theories could contribute to the consolidation you would like to see if the will were there.

This reminded me of a story--(I know, what doesn't)
When my older son was 15 and got his first paycheck, he was appalled to see that the government was taking taxes from him, a kid, a poor, struggling student saving for college. He decided that he needed to be put in charge of the country so he could take care of these injustices. When I pointed out that dictatorships were frowned on in America, he said somewhat offended, "Well, it won't be for long, just til I fix things."

I shudder to think of our country with even less choice than we have now. It's not much of a competition as it is, but at least the Dems can still ruffle the waters a bit.
