“That’s because only out of ashes may the phoenix be reborn. The liberal-lite frustrations of a McCain administration would have smoldered on the Right but lit few fires, dampening the possibility of real post-Bush regeneration. From Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” (read: liberalism) to McCain’s compassionate bipartisanship (read: more liberalism), the nation would have continued to drift in the wrong direction. The “good” thing about the economy-crashing, military-breaking, ideologically mind-blowing Obama administration is that it puts us on a collision course that just might force Americans to bail and start over in a better way — metaphorically speaking.”
That is how I see it. It has to get worse before it gets better, so I want it to get worse as fast as possible and get it over with. And if some people reveal their true nature in the process, so much the better.
And for the Phoenix to rise from the ashes, you have to have ashes.
Outstanding post!!!
Exactly.
McCain is a progressive, and had he become President, we would still be on the same path we are no now, but a lot slower.
The rushing and ramrodding through of Obama’s agenda (really the Progressive’s agenda) is waking people up in droves to what has been happening for YEARS!!!
It’s the whole frog in a boiling pot scenario. With Obama, we’ve been thrown into the boiling pot of water, whereas with McCain, it would’ve been slowly coming to a boil where we didn’t notice until it was too late.
