I've been trying to push the "we're in a liberal moment" thoughts out of my head. But Reagan's election (and reelection) was a "conservative moment" that liberals had to endure. And, well, movements have their time. Suck it up, I think.

What makes me recoil, however, is how quickly this "liberal moment" is happening. Obama has been president for just 46 days. And he, along with a compliant Democratic Congress, are seizing "power [that] can never be rolled back" with blinding speed. And that is more than a bit troubling.

No one read the "stimulus" bill that represents more government spending in one fell swoop than anything in the history of man on Earth. And that's already becoming a distant memory. No need to read that bill now in all its horrible detail. That's (still unknown) history. And as Obama made clear in his address to Congress, that's just a "down payment." We've got Tarp III on the horizon (or is it Tarp 15, I lost track) — not to mention the regular omnibus spending bill spending who know's what and granting more power to the government that's coming down the pike right now.

Soon enough, these measures will also be not discussed in any meaningful way. They'll just be passed. And then we're on to the next huge leap in reordering the governed's relationship with the governors — continuing the dishonest and recklessly expensive cycle. I never thought that I'd be able to so quickly dismiss the idea of doing extensive research to defend Bush's profligate spending compared to Obama and the Democrats in Congress.

I quite remember Reagan's "revolution" taking a bit longer than a few months — as any "revolution" in America should take.

If Obama ran on any of the policies he's cramming down our throats today, he would have taken exactly zero of the Red States he did to gain election in November. That is not an insignificant point. And, that's, as I said, more than a bit troubling.
