After a while you begin to wonder if Republicans are complicit in creating the liberal nanny state. How can anyone be so stupid for so long?
The beginning of a new year is often a time to look forward and look back. The way the future looks, I prefer to look back -- and depend on my advanced age to spare me from having to deal with too much of the future.
If there are any awards to be given to anyone for what they did in 2012, one of those rewards should be for prophecy, if only because prophecies that turn out to be right are so rare.
With that in mind, my choice for the prediction of the year award goes to Bret Stephens of the Wall...
So many people are fooled by the GOP in believing all their "small, limited government" talk. Take it from me, they will use government just as much as the Dems will to acheive their goals.
So the hard part is to realize this and to honestly ask yourself if you will continue to go along with the plan because you so desparately want to reach the goals. Very hard decision to make, but I did it.
