I can't buy that. If Democrats had their way, handguns would be banned, homeschooling would be banned, taxes would be twice what they are, national health care would be a fact, affirmative action practiced with a vengence, the homosexual agenda even more in your face, churches would be taxed, the "fariness Doctrine" would be in effect and talk radio would not exist, the internet would be taxed, SUVs banned and so on.

In my lifetime (I think we're about the same age), we have had have administrations with Republican legislative majorities, yet taxation- aka creeping socialism- has increased, restrictions on personal freedoms have increased, lack of adherence to constitutional principles and law has increased, our politicians lack of accountibility to their constituency has increased; you name it, everything moves progressively more totalitarian. The only difference is the rate of it's movement.

But then, I tend to be cynical about these things...:)
