“I’m a military guy, so I deal with the facts as they are, whether I like them or not. And here are the facts:
1. We conservatives have made huge, undeniable strides since 2010. There are more conservatives at every level of government except the presidency than there have been in a century. That’s tangible progress we can’t just fritter away.”
One: The military, as the premier PC group of my life time and for most of my lifetime isn’t the most impressive citation for “seeing the facts as they are”
Two: “Fritter” is EXACTLY what the GOP has been doing since they racked up all of those impressive wins everyone is always talking about. They got what they wanted; they got into office. They haven’t “punched” anyone back.
Regardless of how many conservatives are in the government, or even if the President will be conservative, if the balls cannot be mustered to eliminate most of the government agencies and briefly increase the unemployment rate by a couple of million government workers, we will have gained nothing but the concentrated power that exists now in the system. We will have merely changed the gang that rules albeit to a more friendly-to-our-side gang.
