Cons think they are winning the war (but they're not!)
""There is no better time and place to establish and illustrate the primacy of conservatism than now." -- Rush Limbaugh, last summer (or any random day)

"We're winning!" -- Sean Hannity, last fall (or any random day)

WELL,"WINNING" is a relative thing. In a game, determining the winner is easy. The rules are set. The starting point is agreed upon. But because conservative electoral victories have exceeded liberal ones over the past 25 years or so, political commentators act as if things are equally simple: The reigning policies of the federal government are conservative.

They aren't."

1. Dem front runners are status-quo down the line. Now winning WHAT is

the question.

What they have won is adding to the majority of Americans who have been variously disenfranchised,, marginalised, demonised and generally dismissed as irrlelevant.

They have won the battle to enshrine imperialism, colonialism and feudalism as core pillars of US policy.

Will the be pleased with their prize?

Are their "fees" associated with the victory?
