The enemy, as I see it, is progressivism. The Democrat party is not alone in having progressives within their ranks. A progressive wants bigger and more controlling government and there are many Republicans in our party that adhere to that philosophy. Sooner or later, progressivism turns into totalitarianism, it's the natural flow.
First, it starts with "good intentions" - we need a law to protect....we need to give money to help...etc. Before you know it, we're all in straitjackets AND we're paying for it!
Progressivism is the enemy, and what many in the GOP refuse to face, is that the enemy is inside the gates.
Ted Cruz and others are our last hope. The man who enters the ring to fight the dragon - he has little chance to win, but he tries anyway. That's courage - and that's statesmanlike behaviour. That's leadership.
Many of us are awake now and aware that the enemy is inside the gates, but many others still slumber with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on their door. It's OK, go back to sleep - we'll wage the fight for you.
