I think the left is ahead on points. I realize tons of people despise this administration and a big GOP Presidential and Congressional win this fall wouldn't surprise me in the least, but that doesn't a trend make. Plus, look what the "victory" would consist of, Romney!

The author, I think, would point toward damming up here. Romney will/would do that because he will/would be compelled to by Constitutionalist factions and the will of those who elected him. Will he roll back years of progressivism? No. Look here:

The left co-opted the education system, the judicial system, the bureaucracy, the press, and the arts.

They are so entrenched it will be impossible to root them and their sickness out. I agree with the author that they will have to self-destruct. And it won't be pretty.

“The left co-opted the education system,”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The above is an example of **STUPID** conservatism. It drive me to exasperation!

The education system K-12 and state universities have ***ALWAYS** been a socialist-entitlement!!! These institutions are the very definition of socialism! They weren't *co-opted”.

Tuition-free K-12 schooling and state subsidized colleges were are a **PROGESSIVE** idea from the beginning. Progressives have always controlled teacher training and curriculum development. The goal of the progressives was **always** toward increasing secularism and godlessness.

Geeze! Children and young adults who attend our nation's socialist-entitlement schools and colleges risk learning to be comfortable with socialism. They learn that any voting mob powerful enough to give them tuition-free schooling or subsidized college is powerful enough to give them **LOTS** of “free” stuff!

And...They **WILL** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom.

I got that after I read the entire article at the link. When I posted that I was just responding to the excerpt which I assumed conveyed the author’s idea better than it was able to, given the size.

Thanks!
