Yankee, I believe it is not incompetent people that will let our slouch to socialism continue. It is a combination of apathy, greed, laziness and a lack of courage to speak the truth.

What I have never been able to understand is how people can repeat the failures of the past and ignore what has worked. Socialism has never worked because it denies our fundamental human nature. All contemporary socialists have one thing in common. They assume that those that preceded them and failed (as they all have in all of history) lacked the intellectual prowess to make socialism work. Sadly, 10, 20, 30 years from now the new contemporary socialists will look back at this era and assume that the Messiah and his czars likewise lacked their intellectual capacity to make socialism work. A sure sign of insanity to repeat the same actions and expect a different outcome......

Meanwhile, conservatives (not necessarily Republicans in Congress as we saw over the last 8 years) will continue to promote what actually has been demonstrated to work. Our job is to convince a majority of Americans what works and what will work and we need to promote politicians that will not abandon their conservative principals when they relocate inside the beltway. Perhaps that is our form of insanity as it seems that every time we have a majority or control the White House or both they eventually lose their way. Those that don't are marginalized and demonized into oblivion by the left and the government media.
