He would be supported by increasing numbers if he fulfills his mandate of beginning the process of dismantling the welfare state, reducing the web of entangling international alliances, articulating a moral tone and backing this up with the appointment of Constitutionally oriented federal judges, improving education by returning the setting of policy and method to local, elected school boards, and increasing opportunity by reducing taxes and regulations. These are all things that Bush articulated during the campaign. Most Americans, of all economic classes and ethnic backgrounds, want the same thing which is to keep and invest more of what they earn and are entitled to. Tax cuts will prove that the average person can get by quite nicely without big, authoritarian government. Those on the bottom end of the economic scale will realize that their needs are more likely to be addressed by local charities and governments where people are treated with dignity and are actually helped out.
Nothing is served by the transfer of hard earned capital into the pockets of faceless bureaucrats.
A strong moral, pro family agenda helps everyone toward independence and fulfillment, and an administration free of corruption will set an example for all of us and will set the tone for the upholding of the rule of law. The left will not fade quietly into the dustbin of history. We should expect some major fireworks in the coming years. We conservatives should take solace in the fact that we are on the right side of history, the side of freedom. We should not shirk from our responsibility to meet the enemy of freedom on the field of battle and to wield our most lethal weapon, which is truth.
