One Last Chance by Robert Gore | STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC
This is an excerpt, click the link above for the rest of the article.
This cannot be termed an opportunity for the Republicans, most of whom have the same command and control mindset as their opponents, very few of whom have a clue as to how creakingly archaic, how doomed to failure, that mindset is in today’s world. The Republicans stand on the slippery edge of an abyss. Any further expansion of government is not going to be by the voluntary choice of the electorate, it is going to come by force. On present trends, tax rates will rise to confiscatory levels as debt and entitlements bankrupt the country. A draft will be instituted as a government that can do nothing right at home attempts to order, militarily when necessary, the world to its liking. Rising discontent will be met with repression and force.
