These are great days we live in. Well, maybe not right now, but in a few years once we get past the whole bankruptcy/hyper-inflation/poverty thing. :)

Thus the distrust of GWB causes the Left to call for more Blue team government expansion, which is not helpful. The Right is calling for what? Guliani? A few might pine for smaller government platforms, but most Righties seem to support a Reaganesque continued expansion of government, especially under the justification of security in the GWOT. And I don’t see moderates leaving the game to align with libertarianism… they’re just looking for some fresh players in the same old Red-vs-Blue political game, with the same gov’t-expanding plays and (if you’ll allow the analogy to continue) ever louder cheerleaders.

In other words, I agree with what you are saying, and maybe we have a valuable opportunity right now, but how can we actually convince the public that they don’t need to look to the state as to solve their problems? Realistically? I don’t have an answer to that one yet.

Never before has one President done so much to destroy the idea that Americans should have faith in the state:

Amen!
