".......the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most from the public treasury..."

Whoa, can't let that happen.

Oops! What do we do now?

Seriously though; this has been going on for generations now. Conservatism seems to be gaining momentum in this country but is it enough to turn the tide? How far can the pendulum swing before it must turn back the other way? Must we devolve into anarchy or despotism and revolution to recreate what the founders envisioned?

Conservatives have picked up steam ever since Woodrow Wilson and his commie pals messed up this country about 3 times in the 1920's, the 50's and 80's and now to a lesser degree now. But its always been a reactionary reflex to what liberals have done already and has never been able to reverse completely the damage liberals have done to freedom and capitalism. Its a slow degeneration the pendulum in its swing back to the right never swings quite as far as the previous swing leftward.
