Republicans Got What They Deserved
If you listen to Ronald Reagan in 1964 he sounds an awful lot like many of today’s libertarians. Somewhere along the road the Republicans abandon the ideas of small government and liberty. They allowed the neoconservatives to take control of their party and for that they are now paying dearly. Unfortunately, they did all this all while preaching the virtues of small government, giving the ideas of small government a bad name. This is why I applaud their implosion. I hope they never recover. One party down, one to go.
Unfortunately, neoconservative ideology will not die with the GOP. Neoconservatives have long been been supporters of the welfare state. As long as they play along with the Democrats welfare agenda, the Democrats will play along with their warfare agenda. That is why spending, big government, and our empire have expanded so rapidly over the last eight years. I don’t expect much departure from this trend over the next eight years.
We can not be too distracted by the fall of the Republicans. We must remember that liberal ideology is just as big of a danger to liberty, peace, and prosperity as neoconservative ideology. We can not sit and wait for the inevitable implosion of liberalism under the weight of their unsustainable wish list for society. We must continue to spread the word of freedom, so that when the inevitable occurs, liberty, not tyranny can take hold.

I agree here that the Republican party has lost a lot of ground. I only hope that this helps to encourage other ideas and not the complete dominance of the Democratic party over the next couple of years. Small government and liberty is a great platform I have not seen in a long time, so perhaps these avenues will be re-explored.
I believe that liberals and conservatives are all after the same thing, and none of that is good. Only their ideas on the surface are different. When you go below that, you can’t tell them apart. It would be a good thing for this country, if they would both go away.
