To paraphrase something I read somewhere today - Republicans: We may be bad but the Democrats would be worse. --- Public: OK, let’s call your bluff.
(*) “I believe the House and Senate Republicans and the White House need to take a deep breath and think very seriously about this election result because I think we’re at a very important turning point. This is either a temporary interruption of what has been a gradually consolidating center-right majority, or this is a breakdown of that center-right majority leading to a significant effort to establish a center-left government majority.”
I am a Republican because I value individual freedom more than the partial security of required subservience to human authority, yet I am under no illusion this desire for autonomy is a populist sentiment shared by millions yearning first for safety and comfort. America is unique, due to circumstances of history, in the degree individual liberty is believed to be the source of good in society, but fear and pain make liberty easy to trade back to authority.
Audio Link: “I think America is in more danger of loosing two or three cities now than any time during the cold war.”
The events of time are going to force more hard decisions upon this country. Because I do not trust politicians who believe it is the purpose of the State to bind citizens together, it is imperative we insure this election is only a temporary step back towards the flaws of socialism.
