Suppose Mark Steyn is correct, suppose conservatives are an actual minority and headed in the direction of being more so. Perhaps Mitt Romney was being "conservative" when he estimated that 47% of the populace sought handouts. What do we do then?
Do we migrate to states where we can be a majority, and try there to govern ourselves appropriately while fending off an interventionist federal government? Perhaps.
Eventually our federal government will, as Margaret Thatcher said of socialist states, run out of other people's money. Then we will be yet another Greece or Argentina, stuck in a redistributionist trap from which there seems to be no peaceful way out
I am certainly in a gloomy frame of mind tonight. Let us be glad we were born early enough to avoid living through most of the hopeless mess ahead.
