You made some astute observations there. 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 bureaucratic expansionism of government combined with Marxist ideology is nothing less than a cancer. Like yourself, I certainly don't hate the individuals adrift in this foolishness, but I certainly hate the result. 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. Here people miss that the founders already had the revolution and it has been in the intervening years that their gift to us has been hollowed out. It is a fundamental weakness of current society that new is always heralded as better than old. 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. I like very much how you phrased this. For me it reflects original Americanism and war with those who would prefer this country to be another Europe. * * *
