“Never let a crisis go to waste” is what Totalitarian Progressive Rahm Emanuel said. The regime of Barack Hussein Obama has been unable to take advantage of the current crisis and the American public has turned against his agenda. This is an opportunity for Conservatives to take advantage of Obama’s political crisis. Progressivism is being disproven as an Ideology and now is when the Right can begin to put a stake through its heart. The problem is the GOP is not aggressive and doesn’t go for the kill. If they don’t, this opportunity to destroy the Left might not come again.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
The Obama administration came into power with the political winds at its back, the media at its feet and Americans open to major change. The White House even had a slogan: A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
The logic behind the axiom is unassailable. As Robert Higgs documented in his libertarian classic, “Crisis and Leviathan,” it’s crisis — not merely war — that is the health of the state. Crises melt frozen politics. They create opportunities. They give the government room to maneuver and grow.
And for a while, it worked that way. Democrats steamrolled the most ambitiously liberal agenda in at least a generation. Yet liberals are miserable. Their lamentations over what they see as President Obama’s lack of audacity punctuate the din, like ululating matrons at an Arab politician’s funeral.
Read the rest: Obama’s crisis is GOP’s opportunity
The Republicans need to offer a clear alternative to Obama and his Totalitarian Progressive ideology. This needs to be a battle of ideas, one which the Left can’t win. Conservatives need to step up the pressure and destroy the evil Tranzi Progressive movement. We should not let this crisis go to waste.
