“They are not opposing Obama because they agree with him.”
Irrelevant Laz.......it doesn’t matter who is driving the bus, Obama, the Republicans or both, it’s the direction we are going and we the people will eventually take the wheel and alter the course. Obama’s overt radicalism will be the liberals undoing.
Certainly. It's important, however, that I pointed out where I disagreed with your description.
No question. The problem is the time frame, and what follows. We have one communist country to look to as an example: The former Soviet Union. In that example, it took 70 years, and what followed was a kleptocracy with little to redeem it in terms of respecting citizen freedoms.
There are a few things that make a USSR/USSA comparison a little difficult: One, things move faster these days. That works to our benefit. Two, there is a global and international network of people who wish to suppress personal freedoms in the name of power, control, and profit. That works to our detriment. That also differs from the time of the USSR, when that global and international network sought to increase personal freedom.
So we have differing situations, but we do have a relatively recent example to draw some conclusions from. Those conclusions are not that encouraging.
