Storm Clouds on the Right

The winds of change are blowing. Political winds are blowing hard from the right. With phrases like “Take back the country” a surge of voters are falling for the ultra right premise that the Bush years were the good old days and somehow the last two have been a disaster. Back to abortion bans, back to wars we shouldn’t be in, back to tax cuts that bankrupt the nation, back to failed energy policy, back to skyrocketing health costs, back to government intrusion into private lives (illegal phone taping for example), back to suspended Habeas Corpus, back to bank failures, back to the housing bubble bursting. The list goes on and on. And still the call for “Roll back the wave of liberalism and restore sanity” goes on.
I fear there is no hope for the country when truth and logic are trumped by lies, half truths and fear mongering. The road ahead is a rough one, but we are on the right road. Going back is never the right answer. Unless, that is, you want to go back to the Clinton days. Now there was prosperity! What happened to it? It got Bush-wacked.
