The Democrats are putting into play as much leftward leaning legislation as they can, as quickly as they can.  The idea is to overwhelm the opposition, utilizing their distinct advantage in the mainstream media.  Despite this strategy and the complicit nature of the drive bys, momentum is gaining against many of the liberal initiatives.  This is largely due to the fact that we are not a liberal country, we believe in individual liberty, we believe in the opportunity presented through increasing freedom and we do not believe in centralized control of large swaths of our economy.

The legislation hitting the books today is cap-and-tax, an opportunity killing initiative meant to placate the environmental special interest groups.  Man-made global warming is a myth, unproven by pier-reviewed and publicly accessible research.  That myth provides the basis for this legislation, which is being described by the Wall Street Journal as the largest tax increase in human history.  The Democrats are banking on the ’slow-burn’ nature of the tax ( it will be implemented in the future and phased in over several years) to minimize the immediate impact on their electoral chances.   The immediate impact of the legislation will be increased caution that it creates within the business community.  This caution will mean slower job growth and slower GDP growth—-not the things you want during a recovery.

During this ‘flooding of the zone’ with liberal initiatives, it is important that conservatives remain focused, keep our rebuttal simple, while focusing on universal themes that resonate with the American People.  Freedom, liberty and opportunity.  Will any of these initiatives promote those ideals?  Will any of this legislation increase our independence?  Will this liberal wish-list create a country with more opportunity for our children than we have?  The answers to all of these questions are no, no and no.
