My take of the whole thing has been that small government conservatism, which I profess, is dead for the foreseeable future. Our arguments for small government, free markets has been a failure. The vast majority of Americans, including those who consider themselves conservatives, reject the notion. What I am seeing is a longing for the New Deal past. It is not Reagan's America that people want, it is Harry Truman's and Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson's America that people want. The Jeffersonian ideal has no appeal anymore. FDR's vision remains king.

FDR's vision remains king.

It does remain king - including the part "Kill Japs, kill Japs, kill more Japs" as a war policy.
