CJ, I think I'll wait while you liberals take inflation, oil, taxes, and corruption to new highs, all the while declaring over and over again that conservative theories have "failed."

Every time they lost, we had a Golden Age. I will grant them that correlation doesn't equal causation. But, at some point you have to wonder.

I am beyond wondering......I have concluded there is causation and am hell bent getting the word out.

If I try X I lose. If I try Y I win. Given several cycles and that holds true, at what point do I go with the correlation?

For the wingnuts, the answer is zero. There is always an exception that explains why they lost. For the pragmatists, there is some small multiple that demands they try something different. But, pragmatists are not True Believers. So they are fence sitters, neither fish nor fowl. The idea is to be ideologically pure even if it means disaster.


May they remain confused for a long time.
