Party of the Past?

I read a silly article today suggesting that Republicans are the party of the past while celebrating the Europeanization of America. The author said, "Thank goodness."

No sir. There is nothing good about becoming a decadent group of drones dependent upon government. There is nothing good about bankrupting the nation, our children and grandchildren, to expand the nanny state.

To the Left, progress is defined not as the expansion of liberty consistent with our beloved Constitution. It is defined as the unending expansion of government. Never mind the truth that as government expands liberty contracts. We must all get onboard or be fined, taxed or jailed courtesy of 16,000 new IRS agents being hired as part of ObamaCare. Join or die has been co-opted by haters of liberty.

All that said, it's pretty ridiculous to be lectured as being stuck in the past by a group of people pushing a 100-year old idea (socialized medicine) that has failed everywhere it has been tried. Socialized medicine bankrupts nations and destroys the ability to defend oneself. The choice is socialized medicine or military power. History has taught us that. Perhaps our Leftist enemies were so busy looking forward they didn't bother to learn their history.
