I respect Sam Tanenhaus. He is a smart fellow, and this book was not a leftist screed bend on discrediting. He actually looked at the conservatives in this country and came up with some deductions. I disagree with his deductions. Bill Moyers? Well, he is who he is.

I think both of these guys are clueless about the ground swell before them. It’s not just the nuts and kooks that are motivated and more interested in politics than they have ever been, it’s the run of the mill garden variety conservatives like me as well. Just as Obama motivated huge amounts of people to get active, he has, with his policies, motivated an equal amount to come out and take it back. These midterms will be a bloodbath for the Dems if they continue on the path they are heading. If President Obama and the Democratic controlled Congress manage to sneak this healthcare bill through, we will have a turn over to the Republicans on the magnitude of 1994.

But, that’s ok. I hope the Democrats continue to pretend this is not happening. It will make taking back the Congress that much easier.

The Death of Conservatism? I think we might be witnessing the Death of Progressivism right before our very eyes.
