I understand your point, and genuinely appreciate your intent. but the republic only survives in a recognizable form until it finally fails to. and I haven't seen very much of anything in the liberal agenda that has ever been "reversed", unless it had an expiration clause built into it.
Well....to start with, the "Welfare Reform Act", that slick willie was finally forced to sign, after vetoing it twice, pretty much gutted LBJ's "Great Society". I will grant you, that much of what FDR set into motion has continued and expanded.....perhaps that course of action was the best for the country at the time, but a day of reconing will come for that also, in the not too distant future.
Don't get me wrong, and I direct this to Thor as well, I'm not comfortable with an Obama presidency at all, but I DO have a fundamental confidence in the American people to ultimately correct the direction of government......even if it takes a while. Will it be uncomfortable, most certainly, but the more "uncomfortable" an Obama administration makes the populace, the shorter that duration will be.......Jimmy Carter being the best historical example.......
Unlike four or five decades ago, the country is ideologically divided nearly right down the middle on a number of issues that are usually raised in any election cycle. This was not the case in 1939, nor was it the case during the Vietnam war, and LBJ's tenure......it will not take very much to tilt the electorate one way or the other on any given issue, and this condition has not been the case in this country for well over a century.
