Ouch, my head!!!

I woke up this morning and was struck by a moment of clarity, an epiphany if you will.  I have been asking myself for months how a country that has a clear conservative majority keeps returning to a liberal majority over and over again. 

It’s really quite simple, good moral people become tired of the fight.  They just can’t stand up to the months of anger and turmoil that the progressives seem to thrive on.  Most conservative are just plain old good hearted, hard working people that want nothing more than for everything to run smooth so the can provide a decent living for their families and live their life.  Progressives on the other hand, thrive on turmoil.  They can only maintain power through confrontation, deceit, and corruption. 

Another difference between your garden variety conservative and the progressive is problem solving.  Conservatives tend to handle problems with military style efficiency.  They identify the problem, develop several courses of action to solve the problem, make a decision based on common sense and experience on which course of action best solves the problem, and then execute the plan.  Once the problem is solved, they move on to the next obstacle.

The progressive identifies the problem, and then identifies several other conjunctive problems which are neither aligned with nor systemic to the original problem.  Discuss the problem with a team to pseudo-experts that share the same political view and develop a system to measure the progress of the discussion.  Formulate a plan of action that will please the largest number of people (with no consideration as to whether it actually solves the problem or not), then form additional plans to present to the other groups that may oppose the original plan.  These plans will then be sent to a separate panel who will scrutinize the plan to ensure that no one group can be adverse to the course of action and to spin the details of the plan in such an ambiguous and complex manner as to be able to give several explanations of the plan to different groups in the hope that each will carry away a different meaning.  Once the plan of action is definitive and clear as mud it is carried out immediately after the next available election cycle and all production delays are blamed on the opposing party.  The plan is then halted mid way and sent back to the organizational panel who discuss, poll, hem and haw and decide that the plan was unworkable from the outset.  The process it the scrapped and the process starts all over again.
