- In the nation as a whole, Americans are about twice as likely to identify as conservative as they are to identify as liberal...
- Conservatives outnumber liberals in every U.S. state.
- Only in the District of Columbia do liberal identifiers exceed conservative identifiers.
And yet...
Our liberal president, formerly the most liberal member of the Senate, is lurching to the statist left, again.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is now at the top the list of the U.S. Senate's most liberal senators.
And the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives is one of the most liberal congresscritters in the land.
Democrats do not flinch in their quest to acquire undiluted statist power for the liberal left.
But Republicans are reluctant to respond to the demands of the voters by offering a clear alternative. Rather than diminish the size and scope of the state, many of the darlings of the Republican establishment and their admirers in the GOP punditry would prefer to water down the conservative movement.
Republican good ol' boys shy away from the conservative label and call for compromise even before negotiations begin. They call for a self-imposed unilateral truce on difficult issues. They offer to help their self-declared enemies. They praise the opposition.
They want a clear and easy path to power.
The unmitigated liberal statism of our federal government is not a reflection of the values of the citizens of this country, but of the power-greedy ruling class of both parties and the cowardice of the Republican party.
