Obama is going to radicalize this nation, as bad as we feared, if not worse.
The looming foreign policy disasters we will endure but domestically we cannot afford his agenda either monetarily or in the name of freedom. However, if Obama is alowed to radicalize the entirety of US domestic policy it will not retain the strength of economy, law or self-determination to save itself beyond the next generation.
But the world is entranced and the liberals only speak of "bi-partisanship" to A) get squishy conservatives to surrender their principles and B) fool moderates into voting for liberals. Conservatives are to be hunted by every tool except for the long dead Alien and Sedition Act but even that is to be held doubtful depending on the resurrection of the soothingly-name Fairness Doctrine. We cannot stop him with mere obstructionist gestures and if we try the resulting failures that we all know must follow socialist policy will be blamed on us.
We need to remind the American people that ours is a federal republic. We must tell them truthfully, even happily, that if they want socialized services and economies they are free to have it...in their state. But what is needed and wanted in Vermont or California is not necessarily needed or desired in Colorado and Texas. The pragmatism of the approach must trumpeted: those states seeking socialized services can learn from each others' successes and failures. Better still, those who do partake of the socialized utopia won't have to worry about their tax dollars lwaving their state to fund other states that only grudgingly would accept such services. If their vision is as true as they claim it ould only be a matter of time until the hold-out states joined them once their shining example proved itself superior in the arena of ideas.
It will make it difficult for the liberals to paint us as obstructionists if we simply present ourselves as those merely seeking empirical proofs in structured trials willing to accept the results for what they are. I fear it is pretty much the only argument left to us given the political weight the liberals will soon possess in all 3 brnaches of government.
